Evening of Food & Wine, May 15, 2009: “Haute Cuisine” France

Ready for another night of French food and wine? The May 15th Food + Wine = Art event explores the “sophisticated” wines and foods of France… we’re calling it “Haute Cuisine”.  The foods and wines of this event will reflect more of the offerings one would find in the cities.

Accordingly, we’ll dial up the service a bit: the food will be plated and served in courses as will the wine.  Rather than our typical up-front description of the foods and wines, we’ll discuss each course individually (and briefly!).

The menu for May 15 and other bits of info are detailed below but there are some things I want to highlight:

• Payment must accompany an RSVP to reserve spots.
• The cost is higher than normal due to the more elaborate menu and service.

Moving on, here are the details in which you’re surely interested….

How Things Work

We always describe the foods and wines served at our events, providing details that we hope you find interesting.  Normally we do this at the beginning of the event; this time, however, we’ll discuss the food and wine in courses.  It’s going to be fun and different.

A couple more things:

• Space is limited to 24 people.
• I’ll “assign” wines to people as they RSVP – one bottle per couple. I generally only assign the varietal, allowing guests to choose the specific bottling so that they can purchase a wine in their comfort zone.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at scott@foodpluswineequalsart.com.

NOTE: you must be 21 years of age or older to participate.
