Mondiale Cellar Treasures at Ohio Valley – October 26, 2010

Our group has done a couple of “BYO” themed events in the past and recently we decided it was time to dig back into the cellar and bring out some buried treasures. We met at Ohio Valley Wine & Beer in their Blue Room and opened 38 bottles representing some of the best from Bordeaux, […]

Mondiale Bordeaux Event at Trio – June 21, 2010

In the shadow of the famous five Premier Crus of Bordeaux are the second growth wines, and a few of these are sometimes referenced with a “super” status above others to imply a quality on par with bottlings that cost dearly for their ephemeral pleasures.

Mondiale Port Tasting – January 20, 2010

Our recent winter of “Snowpocalypse” often brought to mind the allure of relaxing in an easy chair with a warm throw and the quintessential fireside wine: Port.

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!
