My ideal summer gathering is any of the above truly. What I do love is a long table under the stars —friends and family gathered around, glasses clinking, laughter floating through the warm night air. There’s an easy elegance to it: candles, bowls of vibrant fresh salads, platters of roast chicken or fish, and of course, great wine. It’s less about perfection and more about connection—that magical mix of food, conversation, and the summer breeze. Truly heaven!
