Red Bourgogne & Food

A Duke's Dinner

Delicious, elegant, subtle and tasty ... here are a few adjectives you'll remember after this session because our objective is to make all your senses virtually experience the amazing Burgundian lifestyle for a short but appetizing 60 minutes.

How could we introduce Red Bourgogne food pairings without talking about the 100 wine appellations in Burgundy? Well it's not easy so we'll start by selecting 13 wines from Northern Irancy  to Southern Macon.

We'll draw an aromatic map of the expressions of pinot noir in Burgundy and from then on start on building easy and more complex pairings around the world just to make your mouth water before lunchtime.

As usual as part of the session you will also experience a "virtual hands on" cooking lesson with a paired with a Red Bourgogne broadcasted online from France at 12:00pm EST, March, 13th , 2012.
