This past Friday, the JOHNLEONARD team celebrated another successful year at our annual holiday party. The event was held at “Boston’s Best Winebar”, Les Zygomates in downtown Boston. The entire team was welcomed by an intimate cocktail hour which included a variety of delicious lighter bites. Followed after, was an exclusive & delicious French Bistro three-course meal, accompanied by an extensive wine list. As always, we participated in our eventful Yankee Swap and challenged each other to an amusing game of “Who am I?” during dessert (crème brûlée of course). The festive day was filled with lots of laughs, shared memories and entertaining stories!
