Seppi's party

2003 Zinnkoepflé Night

For the last few years Seppi and his partners have been organizing dinners on a theme. Set out below are the menus and the matching wines that were offered in summer 2001.

 

Monday 6 August in Colmar at the HONG KONG Restaurant:

 Chinese dishes and Seppi Landmann Alsace wines 

As an appetizer, Seppi served a magnum of sparkling wine, an "Erotic reserve bin". The dishes that followed were the same as last year (See Archives) with as well nems and prawn fritters. Each dish was accompanied by three wines (different vintages plus that of 2000) and the guests were asked to give their opinion to determine the best food-wine match. 

The guests presented their views without any preconceived ideas and according to their own preference. The results were often equally divided between the 3 wines, but there was complete agreement between the 30 or so guests that Chinese dishes and Alsace wines go well together.

In August at Vieux-Ferrette at Bernard Anthony's cheese store:

 Meeting of a master cheese maker and a master wine maker 

The dinner was composed of different cheese plates each with a different category of cheese and served with 2 or 3 wines and the guests decided which was the best match.

This evening that lasted well after midnight with the passionate comments of the master cheese maker and those of the tasters, finished with the delicious flavors of a meadowsweet and raspberry iced meringue made by Jean-Yves Fays (Pâtisserie Changala, Wintzfelden).

 In August in Saulxures at La Belle Vue Restaurant:

 Variations on a Riesling theme orchestrated by the chef, Denis Boulanger 

In a particularly friendly atmosphere, Jean-François Tisler organized a blind tasting to enable Seppi to present a preview or pretasting of his Hospices de Strasbourg reserve label Riesling.

The guests were astounded by the explosion of delicate flavors and the food and wine harmony prepared by the talented chef, Denis Boulanger who varied last year’s menu (See Gastronomy) by replacing the tuna filet by bass with olive oil and a touch of vanilla cooked in foil.

The guests immediately recognized and appreciated the perfect match of both the regional wines (1998 Noble Valley Riesling with the medallion of beef filet) as well as the prestigious classified Riesling (1989 magnum of late harvest Riesling with the Apicius duck).
