After its association in Europe with many Contemporary Art Institutions, it was only logical that Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte sought to develop a relationship with MoMA in New York. It started in 2001 on a fairly intimate scale. In 2003, a real partnership was in the making, while MoMA was being renovated in Manhattan. Since 2003, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte serves to hundreds of Members, Corporate Members and Associates of the Museum at the prestigious “Party in the Garden.” In 2005, The Party was back in MoMA’s garden in New York City. That year, MoMA’s most important annual fundraising gala chose to honor David Rockefeller as he turned 90. The long time chairman of the board of trustees of the museum recently donated $100 million to the MoMA, the single largest endowment the museum ever received.
Nicolas Feuillatte’s Rosé was served at the cocktail reception to the 900 VIP guests who were invited to honor the great man, and at dinner, everybody raised their glasses of Blancs de Blanc for the birthday toast. The after party began at 9 pm when 2000 privileged guests started pouring into the garden that had been decorated for the occasion with white tents and beautiful lights, their Feuillatte minis in hand.
On June 6 2006, MoMA plans to honor Joan Tisch and Sarah Jessica Parker, two great New York women. Joan and her family are longstanding patrons of the arts and generously support civic and educational causes throughout New York City. Joan has also served as a Life Member of MoMA’s Board of Trustees since 1999. Award-winning actress Sarah Jessica Parker is active in aiding charitable and political causes and has worked to raise money for UNICEF, AIDS research, and school music programs. We hope that you will join us for this very special evening. As usual, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte will be there to help the celebration with its festive bubbles.
