Tonight we have the opportunity to indulge in a pairing of award winning Japanese-influenced French cuisine alongside one of the leading English vineyards.
From the multi award winning English vineyards whose philosophy is “There is no point in just trying to be the best. You need to be the only people who can do what you do.” We shall be presenting a selection of the Chapel Down vineyard wines that have been artfully paired with a special menu that marries the very distinct cuisines of both France and Japan, courtesy of the executive chef at the l’etranger restaurant in Kensington.
Whilst members have had the opportunity to experience both the cuisine of l’etranger and the Chapel Down wines at previous events, I believe that tonight’s event will introduce an additional dimension not before experienced. We will also have the pleasure of the speaker being James McLean who is the Brand Ambassador of Chapel Down.
