Huge thanks to Jack Lynch and our friends at J. McLaughlin for hosting the sponsors of the Garden Gathering with Cocktails on March 19.
As we will be on the run from tours to lunches, more tours, cocktails and dinner, we we chose a few J. McLaughlin pieces to pack for the weekend, that will travel well and look fresh on arrival. I never pack for anywhere without a few J.
