Sacre Bleu a Hit at Minneapolis Guthrie Theatre

When Lee Dean, Food Editor of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, wrote and asked if Sacre Bleu would consider being a feature wine while the Star Tribune hosted 60 of the nation's leading food and wine writers for a special dinner prepared by the city's top 10 chefs, the answer could not have come faster. Yes. Yes. Yes. This was, in fact, an offer we couldn't refuse.

The Guthrie (http://www.guthrietheater.org/) is one of the premier venues in the world. That our wine would be featured in such illustrious company is a tremendous honor.

Perhaps the best part of the evening were the comments we received from the attendees. Quite simply, they loved the wine. We served our CVM (Chardonnay, Viognier and Muscat) and the Cuvee Gustave Fayet. The CVM probably received the most praise with most people commenting that they had literally never tasted anything like it. When elite chefs, wine and food editors note that they have never tasted anything like it, one takes a deep breath.

We wanted to share our moments from the Guthrie with you perhaps because the evening served as a warm affirmation and an important nod of approval from some new found friends. Yes, we made new friends.

Cheers!
