Local Wine Events

For the third year running, Chain Bridge Cellars is excited to offer you the chance to spend an evening with the world's most famous bean and meat dish, Cassoulet.

While Cassoulet is best known as a French dish, it's really just part of a family of bean and cured meat casseroles eaten on cold winter nights across all of southern France and Spain. Chef Jacques will feature a Basque take on Cassoulet (think Chorizo vs. Toulouse sausage) as importer Jonas Gustafsson presents hearty Spanish and Portugues wines along side. Here's the menu:

Grilled marinated sea scallop in orange over fennel confit 

Bodegas Laukote Rioja Blanco 2009

Basque Cassoulet Mediterranee (In the Style of Spain)
Celler Xavier Clua Mas d'en Pol Negre 2010
Pago de San Gabriel Zubiola 2007

Roasted goat cheese with fresh herbs 
Grilled Eggplant in phyllo dough and roasted tomato in a black olive infusion
Quinta Dona Matilde Reserve 2007

This will be a flavorful and fun-filled evening for anyone who loves savory food and wine. $80 per person inclusive of tax and tip, but only 35 seats available. To register, call 703.356.6500, email or visit us at the store.
