As I write, I am drinking a glass of rose...a killer glass of Le Chene Bleu rosé. I know I've written before about this upcoming dinner with Nicole Rolet of the Rhone Valley; however I cannot help but beat this drum one final time before Tuesday's dinner. rosé, white and red, these wines are exceptional and unique in the world. I know that Le Chene Bleu is not well-known (yet), but please recall that neither were the likes of George Hendry nor Paul Hobbs when we first introduced those gentlemen to The Great Garden State.
I believe in these wines and I would like to show them to you and share them with you. We've constructed an extraordinary menu and Nicole herself will be here to contextualize this singular domaine at the intersection of four distinct Rhone Valley appellations. If you can join us, please consider it. View the menu and further details here. Make reservations by emailing me directly or calling 732-828-4444. I hope you can join us. You will not be disappointed!!!
"Like the Super Tuscan producers, they decided to step out of the appellation system...which resulted in wines of stunning grace and freshness...one is going to be hearing a lot more about Chêne Bleu — it could be the world’s first Super Rhône." --The Wall Street Journal
