Event Description

Travel the gently rolling hills of Burgundy from Chablis to Puligny Montrachet to Santenay, Mercurey, and Fuissé. We will start with a tasting and discussion of the wines followed by a delicious 3-course luncheon. You will be whisked away to one of the most cherished wine regions in the world.

Join esteemed winemaker and writer, Alex Gambal as he leads a vibrant discussion about Burgundy today and in the future. Alex lived as an expat in Burgundy beginning in the early 90’s. He began producing wine in a region steeped in history and family legacy.

The collection of Burgundian winemakers and proprietors around our table represent sub-regions and styles from Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuit, Côte Chalonnaise.

The esteemed chefs for this luncheon include award-winning cuisine of chefs Max Boonthanakit and Lijo George of Camphor, a Michelin-starred modern French bistro in LA, as well as the beloved Cesare Casella, chef, restaurateur, and author from NYC.

This luncheon will begin with an in-depth wine tasting, followed by a 3-course luncheon. The afternoon will be terroir-driven, personality-packed, and not to be missed!
