Trip to Burgundy – June 1-7, 2008

As our bailliage has continued to evolve we decided to take advantage of Chevalier Al Harmann to arrange an extended summertime journey to Burgundy. A financial interest in a bed and breakfast operation at Le Clos Saint-Martin in the small town of Mellecey provided access to the perfect home base in Burgundy. This quaint retreat […]

Induction at Wetherington Golf & Country Club – May 18, 2008

Our annual Induction dinner proved to be a milestone event this year in several ways. We commandeered the Wetherington Golf & Country Club and gathered over flutes of Piper-Heidsieck Brut Rose Sauvage accompanied by delectable seafood appetizers of crab fritters, Ahi tuna, and very pretty salmon crepe gateaus resembling savory petits fours. This respite prepared […]

Chaîne Dinner at Prima Vista – March 10, 2008

Cincinnati is a city surrounded by hills that historically had inclines in several locations for trolley lines. One such spot is the location of the aptly named Primavista which was the site of our latest dinner event.

Welcome to the Cincinnati Bailliage of the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs!

Chaîne Cincinnati includes local businessmen and women, doctors, lawyers, chefs, wine distributors and retailers as well as others in the food and wine fields. Our Bailliage unites professional and amateur gastronomes in a private, not-for-profit society committed to promoting the culinary arts and those of enology and hospitality through example, education and camaraderie.

As an example, we foster the development of the culinary arts among our community's promising chefs by contributing to the Cincinnati Freestore Foodbank’s culinary education program called Cincinnati Cooks. We raise money for this purpose by asking for voluntary donations from our members annually, holding an annual wine auction and having special fundraising events.

Additionally, the Cincinnati Chaîne is home to an active chapter of Société Mondiale du Vin, an organization dedicated to enjoying and learning about the world of fine wine and spirits. Over the last few years our members have toured internationally renowned wine destinations to further their understanding of those areas and their wines.

The Bailliage de Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Cincinnati is affiliated with the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, Bailliage des Etats-Unis (United States Chapter), which is associated with the International Headquarters in Paris.

Salut and Vive la Chaîne!
