Cellar Sessions: A Dinner on Risk & Ruin
Thursday, October 16, 2026 · 7:00 PM – 10:30 PM
The Long Room at Marchetti's — 214 Lafayette St, New York, NY
An evening for fourteen operators, underwriters, and the occasional reformed actuary. One table, one conversation, no panel.
What to Expect
We open with a short provocation from the host, then eat. Conversation is guided but not scripted — the table goes where it wants to go.
Six courses, family-style, from Chef Ilana Devereux
Wine pairing by the Marchetti cellar (non-alcoholic pairing available on request)
Fourteen seats, curated for range rather than overlap
No phones on the table — we mean it, there's a basket
The Provocation
"Every risk model is a story about the past told with a straight face. The interesting question isn't whether it's wrong — it's which direction it's wrong in, and who pays for that."
— Dr. Amara Whitfield, opening remarks
