Subject Line: Tour 3, The Pure Taste of Alsace Terroir with Domaine Josmeyer’s Christophe Ehrhart
Dear Wine and Food Lover,
We invite you to join us in the third tour of our new series of ‘Discoveries Winemaker Tour 2010’, a joint programme by m.a.x. concepts, wine merchant Cottage Vineyards (International) and local wine instructor, Damon Yuen, where each month, a visiting winemaker and Damon, will lead you to discover some of the world’s most exciting and unusual wines paired to a range of exquisite cuisine in various m.a.x. concepts outlets.
Our third tour, entitled, “The Pure Taste of Alsace Terroir” 22-24 May, 2010, and led by winemaker Christophe Ehrhart of elite Alsatian winery Domaine Josmeyer will bring you to experience some of the most magical terroirs in the world.
Sheltered from oceanic influence by the Vosges mountains, vineyards here are blessed with a semi-continental climate, sunny, hot and dry. Add to these a mosaic of soils made up of granite, limestone, gneiss, schist, and sandstone, and elevations of between 200 to 400 metres, grapes from vineyards here thus enjoy slow, extended ripening, thus enabling wines with very elegant, complex aromas, which in the best combinations house Alsace’s 51 grand cru vineyards.
To capture this magical terroir, Domaine Josmeyer decided to go into organic and biodynamic winemaking in 2000, first, to improve the ability of the wines to express the domaine’s prestigious vineyard terroirs, and second, to contribute to a better lifestyle for the next generations to come.
And thus, we invite you to two winemaker dinner events, both designed to capture the magic of Alsace terroir (Menus below and attached):
- Josmeyer at PEARL ON THE PEAK (The Peak): ‘Josmeyer Alsace Grande Cru’ Alsatian Cuisine-inspired Winemaker Dinner (Saturday 22nd May, 2010, 7:00 – 10:30pm):
HK$928.00/ HK$788.00 NET per person for Cottage Vineyards E-mail list members - Josmeyer at SIMPLYLIFE FOODPLACE (Citibank Tower, 3 Garden Road, Central): ‘Simply Josmeyer’ Organic Cuisine Winemaker Dinner (Monday 24th May, 2010, 7:00pm – 10:30pm):
HK$588.00/ HK$499.00 NET per person for Cottage Vineyards E-mail list members
ADVANCED TICKET PURCHASE IS REQUIRED. Tickets (available for sale) from today onwards can be purchased from Cottage Vineyards (International). Call Tel. 2395 1293 or email tastings@cottagevineyards.com.
Hope to see you at our events.
Yours sincerely,
Ada Leung
