01 May Social Scene: Mountain Home Awards Party
On a clear, cold evening in late February, hundreds of guests packed into the Nevada Museum of Art to celebrate the winners of Tahoe Quarterly’s 16th annual Mountain Home Awards. The festive event, made possible by J.P. Morgan Private Bank, featured hors d’oeuvre by esteemed chef Mark Estee and beverages by Alibi Ale Works, Tahoe Blue Vodka and Eric Ross Winery. The celebration was also supported by ROAM Robotics, Tahoe Fund, Mountain Home Center, Whitney Peak Hotel, Andersen Windows, Intrinsic Insurance Services, Renown Health and, of course, the Nevada Museum of Art.
