New Year, Same Great Party

As usual, tout le monde was at the New Year’s Day lunch thrown by affable gardening guru George Schoellkopf and international artist Gérald Incandela at their magnificent Summerland aerie.

The tony twosome – who fly between their sprawling homes here and in the town of Washington, Connecticut – kicked off 2025 in splendiferous style with free-flowing vintage Bordeaux and Moët champagne, beef brisket that had taken three days to prepare in the baronial kitchen, English trifle prepared by George (a particular favorite), and tiramisu & persimmon pudding.

Guests included Robyn Geddes, Barbara Woods, Sharon Bradford, Michael and Lorie Porter, Larry Feinberg and Starr Siegele, Mary Dorra, Allan Glaser, Trish Reynales, and David and Kendall Conrad.

Always a glorious start to the New Year.
