Per Se Supports American Wines

May 25th, 2009

– note– this post was scheduled for Monday May 25th, but due to my site being down last week, it did not go live

Per Se, the epitome of fine French cuisine in America, has decided to show their love for American wine in a new dinner series entitled: An American Table at Per Se. Each dinner will be hosted by an American winemaker who will lead a discussion about their influence and inspiration while pouring a selection of wines tailored to the cuisine of Per Se, with specific tasting menus for each dinner.

Though expensive for sure, this event sounds like such a great opportunity for people to have a real discussion with winemakers about their passion. Most importantly, the focus is American wine, even New York wine at one of the dinners. It may not be in everyone’s budget, but a great concept such as this cannot go unmentioned.

If you’d like to continue your Memorial Day patriotism beyond Monday, and you have $325 (per person) to spare on what I’m sure will be an unbelievable meal with fascinating conversation, make a reservation at 212-823-9349.

The schedule is as follows:
Thursday, May 28th: Copain Wine Cellars and the Significance of Old World Influences
Thursday, June 11th: Per Se Celebrates the Wines of Greg Brewer and the Importance of the Land
Monday, June 22nd: Challenging Modern Winemaking: Abe Schoener from Scholium Project
