We recently hosted a cocktail party at our favorite nightspot, the elegant Le Club on Nob Hill, to announce the launch of ResideSF.com. The occasion also marked the ten-year anniversary of Claudia Juestel’s design firm, Adeeni Design Group. Claudia, author of the interview series “Tea With Claudia,” is design editor for the new publication, which covers interior design, art, architecture and real estate in San Francisco.

Some of the first articles featured at ResideSF.com include Claudia’s interviews with Michael Belleveau, President and CEO of Baccarat, Zesty Meyers, co-owner of the influential R Gallery in New York, and Lord Wedgewood, spokesman for the legendary Wedgewood company.
The site has also given in-depth visual tours of some of San Francisco’s finest multi-million dollar residences, such as the new condominiums at The Millennium and One Rincon Hill, and the latest listings from TRI Coldwell Banker’s Joel Goodrich, who co-hosted the party at Le Club.

Over 100 guests were treated to special tea cocktails created for the evening by celebrated mixologist Michael Callahan of Raising The Bar. His “Life of Luxur-Tea” combined Zen Green Tea Liqueur with Beefeater 24, chartreuse and lemon, while “Naughty & Spice” mixed hot chai with Zen Green Tea Liqueur and Matusalam rum.
Another favorite for the evening was an exquisite 1997 Merlot from Oliver Caldwell Cellars, as well as the always refreshing flavored water from Hint Water. And we had the most delicious truffles from Socola Chocolatier.
