777 Wine Week Lunch is a Primehouse tradition that began on July 7th 2007 as a charity event to benefit Common Threads (www.commonthreads.org).
Guests that come in for lunch can taste 7 wines for the cost of a $7 donation. We have a different theme each day and Chef Rick Gresh prepares specials to pair with the wines.
