Madison Beach Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, a AAA Four Diamond Award-winning boutique resort and chosen Hotel of the Year by Hilton, is hosting an exclusive wine dinner on Friday, October 11, 2019 where Alsatian Wines meet the Connecticut Shoreline.
The dinner will feature vigneron Philippe Blanck from the award winning Domaine Paul Blanck to share his story and discuss his wines during each paired course.
Domaine Paul Blanck dates to 1610 when Hans Blanck, the family's Austrian ancestor, acquired the first vines in Alsace. In 1846, Jacques Philippe Blanck obtained a medal for his work as a winemaker. In 1927, Paul Blanck and a handful of other winemakers were recognized as the driving force behind turning the site of Schlossberg into a pilot site for a future grand cru.
In 1975, with the creation of the grand cru appellation in Alsace, Bernard and Marcel Blanck, the sons, played a determining role. Schlossberg was the first to be assigned this appellation. In 1985 came a new generation of winemakers: Frédéric and Philippe. Their main preoccupation is respecting the vines and the soil upon which they are planted.
Guest Chef Mathias Peter, famous for his Alsatian Tarte Flambee, will feature varieties of his famous recipe during the reception and dessert.
The Wharf Restaurant Chef Jay Taylor has created a stunning menu to pair with hand-picked Domaine Paul Blanck Alsatian wines.
In addition to the spectacular wines showcased by Domaine Paul Blanck, Ric Duques, owner of Madison Beach Hotel, is contributing to the dinner’s third course - the 1964 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild Paulliac from the Bordeaux region of France, a wine of generational reputation to wine aficionados.
