Dine Around and Silent Auction at the Haynes Family Farm – August 11, 2018

On August 11, the Cincinnati Bailliage spent a perfect summer evening at the gorgeous country farm of Vice Chargé de Mission, as well as Bronze Star of Excellence winner, Clint Haynes and his gracious wife Jean.

This fourth annual event is always one of the best attended Chaîne gatherings of the year and raises money for the Irwin and Barbara Weinberg Culinary Scholarship Fund. This fund has been hugely successful in raising money to assist in the education of students at Cincinnati’s Midwest Culinary Institute.

Each member at this event contributed $25 toward the fund and brought a bottle of outstanding wine to share. An additional $5,820 was raised by Vice Echanson Mary Horn and Vice Echanson Honoraire Mike Monnin by auctioning wines left over from previous events or donated. Most of the money raised will go into the Weinberg fund.

The evening started off with members enjoying a stunning display of cheeses and fruit which were meticulously prepared by Jean Haynes and perfectly paired with a wide array of summer white and rose wines. This was followed by Bronze Star winner Pat Gaito’s famous gourmet mussels with grilled bread. The main course of the evening consisted of barbecued beef brisket, smoked Salmon and five unique varieties of salads all prepared by Mr. Haynes, Mr. Gaito, Vice Conseiller Gastronomique Chuck Hong, and Chevalier Shannon Reed.

The evening ended with the announcement of the auction winners by Bailli George Elliott and a chorus of praise from all members.

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

The Chaîne Cincinnati is now 44 years old and through the years our members frequently gather to enjoy wonderful events featuring outstanding food, wines and spirits from acclaimed Cincinnati chefs and world recognized vintners.

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!
