Mondiale Fall Event at Mita’s – September 27, 2015

The Cincinnati Bailliage chose to have the fall Mondiale event at Chef Jose Salazar’s newly opened Mita’s in downtown Cincinnati.

This Latin American restaurant was inspired by the chef’s grandmother from Medellin, Columbia. Jose spent summers with her while growing up in New York City and credits her with teaching him the fine art of Spanish as well as Latin American cuisine.

Chef Salazar prepared three courses and sommeliers Mary Horn, Kathy Merchant, and Bethanie Butcher from our bailliage were given the task of pairing wines with each course.

As an added twist to our evening, Professionnel du Vin Horn was asked choose wines from Portugal, whereas Professionnel du Vin Merchant and Dame de la Chaîne Butcher were asked to use wines from South America and Spain respectively. Each sommelier shared innovative wines that expertly brought out the unique qualities of each dish.

Moreover, the evening raised funds to support our local Young Chefs. This collaboration between Vice Echanson Mike Monnin, Bailli George Elliott, Chef Salazar and our 3 sommeliers drew the highest praise from all members of our bailliage.

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!
