The Twelve is Jazzed about Wine– continuing the Wine Dinner series with glorious Trimbach Riesling and great live jazz
The next dinner in the ongoing Wine Dinner series at The Twelve showcases the world famous wines of Maison F.E. Trimbach from Alsace, and takes place in the company of Jean Trimbach on Wednesday June 30th.
The evening begins with a structured tasting of the Maison Trimbach portfolio in the Na Beanna Beola Suite, followed by a delectable five course dinner designed by chef Cedric Bottarlini to perfectly complement the wines of Trimbach. And all is orchestrated to the sounds of great live jazz.
Jean Trimbach is the twelfth generation in the Trimbach family of winemakers since 1626, whose vineyards have been based in Ribeauvillé since the 19th century. As a Riesling house F.E. Trimbach has few rivals and the Trimbach style is regarded all over the world as a beacon of Alsatian excellence.
Trimbach produce white wines with a crisp, mineral and dry character, food-friendly and structured. Of the 26 three star Michelin restaurants in France, Trimbach wines feature on the winelists of them all.
Alsace Grand Cru Rieslings are some of the greatest white wines in the world and Trimbach produce two of them. The jewel in the crown is Clos St. Hune of which only 600 cases are produced each year, regarded by many as the finest wine of Alsace if not one of the world's greatest white wines, followed closely by Cuvée Frédéric Emile, named after the founder and produced from vines of over 30 years of age.
Jean Trimbach is a lively, knowledgeable and approachable guide to his family’s finest wines, and this is a fantastic opportunity to taste Trimbach under his direction with the fine complement of wonderful food in West, and mellow, laid-back jazz.
West @ The Twelve has won a host of notable food and wine awards recently.
