Four culinary experts from The Breakers, inclusive of its wine director and executive chief of restaurants, are the powerhouses behind an opulent wine dinner happening this Wednesday at the resort hotel.
The extravaganza set to begin at 7 p.m. in The Breakers’ Magnolia Room, will regale attendees with a four-course dinner which will be married with commendable wines from the respected French vineyard Château Cos d’Estournel located in the Bordeaux region.
To ensure exclusivity, the seating at this event is capped and would-be attendees are required to book their spot in advance. The event will be under the patronage of Charles Thomas from Cos d’Estournel who will be the guest of honor.
The maestros behind the curtain orchestrating this grand event are pair of master sommeliers Virginia Philip, also the wine director, and Juan Gomez, both from The Breakers.
Joey Tuazon, the esteemed chef at The Breakers’ HMF, alongside the resort’s executive chef of restaurants, Anthony Sicignano, take the culinary stage.
The wine dinner kicks off following a wine reception replete with passed hors d’oeuvres, starting dynamic with a seared sea scallop dish that features crispy rice, a spiced yogurt ginger crème, and a delectable tomato confit.
Turning up the taste a notch, the second course is HMF’s take on the “pot pie” – an exquisite blend of corn, leeks, the pungent Roquefort, and blueberry jam.
The culinary journey proceeds to a third course highlighted by a tantalizing wood-grilled cut of tender beef tenderloin, served with a dash of truffled parsnip purée, roasted varieties of salsify, the earthy chanterelles, and a bold syntax of red-wine currant sauce.
The final act of the culinary experience presents itself in the form of decadent chocolate truffles for dessert.
Several wine pairings during the evening will include, among others, Cos d’Estournel Bordeaux Blanc 2018; Les Pagodes de Cos d’Estournel 2016 in magnum; and Château Cos Labory Red Bordeaux 2018.
The Wednesday wine dinner at The Breakers is $525 a person.
