Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Cincinnati

Société Mondiale du Vin

Many of our members have a special interest in wine as connoisseurs, restaurateurs, professionals, and those learning more about wine or other crafted beverages.  To accommodate those members, the Société Mondiale du Vin (“Mondiale”) was created to promote the enjoyment, knowledge and understanding of fine wines and crafted beverages.

Only members in good standing of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs may be members of Mondiale.

Mondiale Romanée-Conti

The Cincinnati Bailliage has a strong representation in the Société Mondiale du Vin, having one of the largest memberships in the United States at 50 and a waiting list of 20. We have capped our membership at 50 members to allow us to go to smaller venues for our events as well as allowing us to have events where quantities of rare wines or crafted beverages are limited.

We have three Mondiale events per year primarily featuring wines focused on specific varietals, wine growing regions or individual wineries. From time to time we move away from wine and have events celebrating various crafted beverages such as beer, port, bourbon, tequila, etc. We also are privileged to have a number of sommeliers as members and we’ve held special fundraising events (see Charitable Activites) having three sommeliers competing to find the perfect wine to match with each course prepared by a guest chef. All our events are benefiting our members by furthering their interest in the enjoyment, knowledge and understanding of these fine beverages.

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!
