Take your taste buds on a quick jaunt to Normandy, France without stepping foot outside of Manhattan! Don't miss The Cider School: French Ciders & European Cheeses Tasting event taking place from 6:00pm until 7:30pm on Saturday July 27, 2019 at Flûte Champagne Bar!
Grab your $35 Ticket (a $50 value) to taste and learn everything you ever wanted to know about ciders with the renowned growers at Romilly Cidre, a top premium brand straight out of Normandy. Plus, enjoy Artisan Cheeses to elevate each sip.
Romilly Cidre reflects the complexity of the rich terroir found in the northwestern region of France. This intimate session will guide you through the nuances of each varietal via the extensive knowledge of the experts. Plus, Flûte is rich in history, having been a former speakeasy in the roaring '20s.
Now hold your glass up high, take a bite of some Manchego cheese from Spain, and cheers - or, "à votre santé" - to a Saturday night you won't soon forget!
By order of Emperor Charlemagne, 9th-Century farmers in France planted apple orchards throughout Normandy. The Romilly farm was then founded & began a 1,000-year tradition of producing artisanal ciders with the complexity of a fine Bordeaux, the elegance of champagne, and the refreshment of a beer.
Using 25 varieties of heritage apples, ancient farming methods, & fine French culinary techniques, the cidre you will taste is a masterpiece of the cidermakers’ art. Their additive-free cidre is gently effervescent from wild Norman yeasts and skilled aging.
From the fog-shrouded cliffs of the Normandy coast to America, you'll drink a bit of history while growers from Romilly walk you through the textures, tasting notes, and flavor profiles of each bottle.
You'll also nosh on imported cheeses to amplify your swigs such as Brie from France, manchego from Spain, and fontina from Italy.
Channel your inner Old Hollywood starlet, soaking in the sultry vibes of Flûte Champagne Bar's rich history as a former Gatsby/Prohibition era hideaway that was revitalized & reopened in the late '90s.
After this sparkling soirée, you might be inspired to hop on a plane for a mini getaway to France!
