Mondiale Tequila Tasting Dinner – June 13, 2016

Cincinnati Mondiale members gathered at Tostado’s Mexican Restaurant for their first ever tequila tasting. Tostado’s is a popular eatery east of downtown Cincinnati near the Ohio River. Owner Hugo Tostado is the heart and soul of this traditional yet innovative restaurant which has received some rave reviews not only for the cuisine but also for the weekly Karaoke night.

The evening was originally conceived by Chambellan Provincial Irwin Weinberg and the details were carried out to perfection by Vice Echanson Mike Monnin.

The speaker for the evening was Professionnel du Vin Mary Horn. Mary is an Advanced Sommelier as well as Certified Specialist of Spirits who currently serves as vice president of fine wine sales and education for the Heidelberg Distributing Company.

She expertly led us through an extremely informative tasting of one mezcal and four tequilas followed by a tasty south of the border dinner. Our baillage is quite fortunate to have someone of Mary’s caliber to educate us in wines and spirits. Not only is Mary a treasure trove of information but she is also a delightful and engaging individual.

At evening’s end, we gave out sincere thanks to Mary, Mike, and Hugo.

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!
