Holiday Dinner at Cincinnati Netherland Hilton Hotel – December 7, 2015

The Cincinnati Bailliage’s Holiday Dinner was held in the Hall of Mirrors at the historic Netherland Hilton Hotel in downtown Cincinnati. This landmark art deco hotel was the perfect setting for our festive evening.

Award winning chef Todd Kelly and Vice Conseiller Gastronomique Barbara Lancor constructed a masterful multi-course menu which was exquisitely paired with wines selected by Vice Echanson Mike Monnin.

The highlight of the evening was Bailli George Elliott’s presentation of the Bronze Star of Excellence to Vice Chargé de Mission Clint Haynes. Mr Haynes, Vice President of Stress Engineering Services, has been a Chaîne member since 2002 and has served on the board since 2005. He and his wife Jean are well known in the community for generously donating their time and resources not only to the Chaîne but to many other vital charities such as Cancer Family Care and the Cincinnati International Wine Festival. This past year, they hosted a lobster bake for the entire bailliage at their farm in rural Indiana and are planning a pig roast for next year.

What a perfect way to celebrate Chaîne Camaraderie, the excellence of one of our favorite local chefs, and the dedicated giving spirit of our 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!
