Cellar Treasures at Heidelberg Distributing – January 20, 2015

What do you get when you cross 30 enophiles with with some of the best wine in the world? A Cellar Treasure Event, of course. That is exactly what took place at the Heidelberg Distributor’s Event Room in Hebron, Kentucky on a blustery evening in January. Thirty Mondiale members and guests from the Cincinnati Bailliage heeded the charge that was given to them by Bailli George Elliott to bring a bottle of their best cellared wine to share with each other.

Following a scrumptious buffet prepared by Funky’s Catering, we all voted for the top wine of the evening and the award went to Professionnel du Vin Carmen and Paul Parks for their 2002 Hundred Acre offering which garnered 100 points from Robert Parker and the praise from all of us in attendance. Professionnel du vin Parks was presented with a Vinfrared corkscrew and bragging rights until our next cellar treasures event.  At the conclusion of the evening, we all thanked Vice Echanson Monnin and Bailli Elliot for a memorable evening of phenomenal wines, dazzling cuisine, and the chance to share all of this with friends.

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!
