Winter Dinner at Red Father – February 9, 2015

On February 9, 2015, The Red Feather Kitchen and Wine Bar gave Bailli George Elliott and the Cincinnati Bailliage a warm welcome for their Winter dinner event. Red Feather moved into the space formerly occupied by Boca, an iconic Italian restaurant which relocated to downtown Cincinnati. The exit of Boca left some large shoes to fill, but Chefs Brad Bernstein and Brett Crowe have indeed filled that void and then some. Along with General Manager/Sommelier Devon Barrett, these culinary wizards have created something incredibly special for our city. The restaurant name alludes to the Bernstein family’s culinary past of the landmark Mike Fink Restaurant located on an Ohio River paddlewheeler. Fink was an 18th century riverboat character known for the easy-to-spot red feather he wore in his hat.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately impressed with the rustic brick interior surrounding a bar made of a 100 year old oak tree. Appetizers were served around the bar and then we were ushered to our tables. We enjoyed an intricate meal of both contrasting and synergistic flavors woven around offerings that included scallops, arctic char, and venison. These outstanding courses were skillfully enhanced by wines selected by Vice Echanson Mike Monnin and his wine committee. At evening’s end, members praised Vice Conseiller Gastronomique Barbara Lancor for artfully orchestrating this memorable gathering with the Red Feather staff.

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!
