Peter Pratt's Inn

Summer is at its finest when exceptional seafood is paired with beautifully crafted wine. Join Peter Pratt’s Inn and DonFam Cellars for the fourth installment of the Peter Pratt’s Wine Experience Series as we celebrate the versatility of rosé alongside the season’s freshest coastal cuisine.
The evening begins with a glass of Brut Rosé Champagne, followed by a thoughtfully curated five-course menu featuring oysters, Maine lobster, diver scallops, and sesame-crusted ahi tuna. Along the way, you’ll discover three distinct expressions of rosé - from the mineral-driven wines of Cassis to the elegance of Provence - before exploring the surprising harmony between an elegant Italian red and premium ahi tuna.
Each course has been carefully paired to highlight the freshness of summer while showcasing how rosé has evolved into one of the world’s most versatile food wines. Throughout the evening, DonFam Cellars will share the stories behind each wine, its region, and the thoughtful pairing that brings every course to life.
Whether you’re a devoted rosé enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable summer evening, Rosé &amp; Summer Seafoods promises exceptional wines, inspired cuisine, and wonderful conversation in the warm hospitality of Peter Pratt’s Inn.

It is deeply meaningful to share these sculptures at the Jay Heritage Center, a place rooted in the history of American diplomacy. Here, they connect the story of our modern embassies abroad with John Jay’s legacy as a statesman at home and diplomat abroad. — Jorge Otero-Pailos
<h3>About the Work</h3>
Analogue Sites is a series of steel sculptures by Spanish-American artist and preservationist Jorge Otero-Pailos, created in 2019 from fencing salvaged during the preservation of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, designed by Finnish-American modernist master Eero Saarinen. Otero-Pailos transformed this material as a way of preserving its layered history and drawing attention to the U.S. Embassy Program—an unprecedented Cold War–era initiative by the State Department that made modernist architecture and the arts central to American diplomacy abroad. These sculptures raise awareness of these embassies at a time when they are being decommissioned and left with little to no preservation protection.
At the Jay Heritage Center, two works are placed symmetrically in the restored garden parterres, framing the central path. Their mirrored placement reflects themes of balance and reciprocity central to diplomacy and honors John Jay’s historic missions to Spain, France, and England, and his role as a founding figure in American diplomacy.
Sculptures from this series have been exhibited in New York on Park Avenue; in London at Regent’s Park and at Winfield House, the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom; and in Washington, D.C., at the National Museum of American Design.

Otero-Pailos is an internationally recognized New York–based artist, architect, and preservationist known for his monumental casts of historical buildings. He has exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Venice Art Biennale and the British Parliament, and his works are held in major museum collections. Otero-Pailos also teaches and directs the Historic Preservation program at Columbia University GSAPP.
