Legendary Chateau Musar Wine Dinner
Chateau Musar — arguably one of the world’s most iconic wineries. A name that is not only synonymous with great winemaking, but one that has held the standards of winemaking at historic levels for our current generation and those to come.
When winery founder, Gaston Hochar, began making wine in 1930, the boundaries of Lebanon had not been set. The wines of Chateau Musar today are unique expressions from a country with an ancient wine-making culture, as vines have been cultivated from Lebanon’s high altitude Bekka Valley for over 6,000 years. Known as the land of milk and honey, Lebanon boasts favorable geographical and climate conditions for its vines to thrive with little or no intervention.
Under the direction of legendary winemaker, Serge Hochar, Chateau Musar became one of the world’s most recognized wineries, competing with the likes of Bordeaux’s first growths and beyond. The winery now under the direction of the Hochar family’s third generation, Chateau Musar celebrates 85 years of winemaking as its legend continues.
It is with great respect and honor that I allowed the pleasure of hosting Serge’s second son, Marc Hochar, for the winery’s only public winery event in Minnesota this fall with my company, Amusée.
On Oct 22, join us as my team and I welcome Marc Hochar and Chateau Musar for one of the city’s most exquisite historical winery events.
Amusée teams up with Minneapolis’s most talked about catering team, Create Catering, for what is sure to be a night to remember. A multi-course dinner that not only includes wines that have been brought in specifically from the winery’s importer on the east coast, but from the winery itself in Lebanon. Never before seen vintages that are sure to ignite the senses beyond comparison.
Passed appetizers begin at 6pm, following a 5 course seated pairing dinner at 6:30pm. Hochar wines will include a multitude of vintages from 2016 through to 2015, 2012, 2010, 2009, 1999 and 1987 — including a very special wine flown in from Lebanon to be featured with dessert.
This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to taste wines of this stature and spend time with one of the world’s most iconic families in winemaking history — certainly, an event you should not miss.
This dinner will start promptly on time as we have many courses, pairings and wines to experience + savor. Please, join me as we journey the storytelling and wines of Lebanon together!
