The Exchange at Edmund's Oast will host a French wine dinner with noted wine journalist Jon Bonné in celebration of his newly published two book/boxed set: The New French Wine on Sunday, April 30th, at 7 pm. The dinner will feature a full lineup of Bonne's top French wine picks (see below) paired with a four course “family style dinner” prepared by Chef Bob Cook. Each ticket includes a copy of The New French Wine.
Bonne's publisher describes the book as follows:
“The first definitive guide to contemporary French wines and producers, from a two-time James Beard Award winner. This comprehensive and authoritative resource takes readers on a tour through every wine region of France, featuring some 800 producers and more than 7,000 wines, plus evocative photography and maps, as well as the incisive narrative and compelling storytelling that has earned Jon Bonné accolades and legions of fans in the wine world. Built upon eight years of research, The New French Wine is a one-of-a-kind exploration of the world's most popular wine region. First, examine the land through a thoroughly reported narrative overview of each region—the soil and geography, the distinctive traditions and contemporary changes. Then turn to a comprehensive reference guide to the producers and their wines, similarly detailed by region. From Burgundy to Bordeaux and everywhere in between, this is sure to be the resource on modern French wine for decades to come.”
The dinner will be held in “The Library,” the private dining room at Edmund's Oast restaurant, next door to the Exchange. Tickets are $275, all inclusive. Tickets are available by emailing sarah@edmundsoast.com or calling 843-990-9449 for more information. Limited quantities of each featured wine will be available for purchase at the dinner.
