French Alps & Jura Wine Dinner At La Cote D’Or

Cost: $138

When I say “the Alps,” you probably think of Switzerland or, maybe, Italy. But the Alpine regions of France capture all the beauty and majesty of the Alps – and you get French cooking, too! And some pretty stunning French wines to pair. As you can taste for yourself as you sample five French Alpine wines from importer Ed Addiss of Wine Traditions and a stunning five course feast from Chef Jacques.

Other than one Pinot Noir – of decidedly Alpine cast – the grapes here aren’t too familiar. Our whites will be Jacquere and Savignin. And our non-Pinot Noir red a blend of 32 old varietals from 70-100 year-old vines of Mollard, Espanenc, Grand Noir de la Calmette, Barbaroux, Grec Rose and more. And for desert – well, I’m not going to even try to describe Macvin du Jura for you. You’ll just have to come taste it!
