Gideon Beinstock of Clos Saron hosts a wine dinner in La Cave with 8 wines paired across 4 courses, including legendary vintages dating back to the '90s. Ticketed event.
A candlelit cave à manger where the weekly-changing menu lives only on a giant marquee board and walk-ins are the intended mode. The wine list runs hundreds of organically farmed, small-grower bottles. Grower Champagnes, obscure French appellations, the kind of list that takes three reads to get through. Order the Pâté en Croûte and end on the Pain Perdu.
Half dozen oysters with mignonette, the classic opening move at this French wine bar.
A pour from the rotating list of small-producer organic wines, the whole point here.
House pate en croute. Rich and layered, built to slow down the meal at the cave.
Silky chicken liver mousse with crusty bread, a French bistro essential.
French toast with vanilla ice cream — the non-negotiable way to end the night.
Pastry-encased terrine, the most-ordered item on the weekly marquee.
