DINNER WITH THE FORTE SISTERS AT VANESSA VON BISMARCK’S HOME LYDIA FORTE AND Irene Forte, the sisters who are reenergizing their father Sir Rocco Forte’s collection of hotels (including Brown’s Hotel in London), were toasted at the home of Vanessa von Bismarck. On November 16, an international roster of VIPs—Waris Ahluwalia, Caggie Dunlop, Joshua Jackson, Princess Beatrice of York, Princess Eugenie of York, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and Bettina Santo Domin-
go, and Neville Wakefield—were treated to a multi-course sensation from Fulvio Pierangelini, the chef behind Irene Firenze at Hotel Savoy in Florence, Italy. The exclusive event was perfected with bottles of our fave brand of Franciacorta, Ca’ del Bosco. It was an evening that—from hors d’oeuvres to desserts—embraced the best of the Mediterranean with a decidedly English flair. u DECEMBER 2016 143
