The Guest List: Shane McAnelly
A seat at The Guest List is more than a reservation—it’s an invitation to experience culinary collaboration at the highest level. Hosted by Chef Charlie Palmer inside Charlie Palmer Steak IV at the legendary Knickerbocker Hotel, this exclusive dinner series brings together a curated lineup of celebrated chefs and winemakers for intimate evenings of creative exchange and exceptional dining.
Executive Chef Shane McAnelly of Dry Creek Kitchen brings the essence of Sonoma to New York for an intimate tasting experience. Inspired by the bounty of Wine Country, Shane and Charlie craft a menu that showcases the region’s finest ingredients—Liberty Duck, Painted Hills beef and the best in-season produce of the region. In true DCK fashion, every wine pairing hails from Sonoma County, creating a seamless journey from vineyard to table.
