The mismatched but perfect duo of Chef Brad Farmerie and wine steward Ruben Sanz Ramiro, offer up their advice on what to cook for a romantic meal, and what wine should be paired with it.
Brad is the executive chef of Public, consistently one of New York's most popular spots, and The Monday Room, the speak-easy-esque wine bar and restaurant tucked behind Public's hostess stand.

He is especially passionate about unusual, elusive small production wines and up and coming regions. He is charismatic and smart, and just too charming to intimidate.The mismatched but perfect duo of Chef Brad Farmerie and wine steward Ruben Sanz... more
