    October 10, 2024
    6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Please join us Thursday, October 10th at 6pm, as Steven Plant of Plant Wines leads us on a journey to discover the unique wines of Savoie in eastern France, a Gastromic-rich area, indeed!

Today Savoie, surrounded by the Alpine region of France, is a top destination for tourists and skiers, and is famous for its cheeses such as Roblochon, Beaufort and Tomme de Savoie, not to mention Dolin Vermouth and Chartreuse liquor. Steven Plant’s company features artisanal growers and families working with minimal intervention to produce wines of real character and sense of place.

On this fine evening, we will try five enchanting wines by four different producers from distinctive local varieties like gringet, verdesse and syrah’s close relative mondeuse, as well as the Rhône’s roussanne, known locally as bergeron. Steven will tell us how the mountains that surround the vineyards bring freshness to these fascinating Alpine wines.

Chef Jacques will offer dishes that showcase their unique flavors. We invite you to delight in a fantastic spread of food and wine that you will find nowhere else!
