PC Moment: It was a celebration of champagne, food and music as the three worlds came together for one serendipitous evening at the Rachofsky House. The well-heeled crowd enjoyed a decadent menu prepped by chef Grant Achatz of the Chicago-based Alinea, while vintages from Krug Champagne were poured perfectly for each dish. Famed violinist Charlie Siem provided musical pairings to go with the sumptuous courses, leaving guests in quite the euphoric state.
