As you know… it all began as something quite amusing. In December 2007, friends suggested to me to organise a dinner based on oenology to give honour to female winegrowers. The evening was meant to bring together a small group… we ended up with 107 guests ! In view of the enthusiasm created, I wanted to repeat the event based on themes close to my heart : champagne, chocolate, spices...
In the past, I have actively contributed to epicurean meetings at evenings I’ve initiated, such as Les Celebrissimes du Vin et de la Restauration highlighting French and foreign women in the world of wine and gastronomy, or Les soirées 5 C marrying Champagne, Cognac, Cigars, Coffee and Chocolate. I saw a way to extend the pleasures of tastings, discoveries and exchanges by this time placing them under the aegis of the 5 Sens, the underlying theme of gastronomic and sensual moments.
During the course of 2008, the evenings allowed us to meet regularly to savour these pleasures in the company of enthusiasts, chefs, winegrowers, oenologists and artisans from all horizons, who came to let us admire and touch their creations, smell and taste the multitude of flavours and listen to colourful, and sometime very spicy, stories.
In 2009, the adventures will follow in the same spirit. Two evenings are already programmed : Wines by Women and Women of Wine the 5th February – an aspect I’ve often been asked to comment on during the course of my life – and Summer Rosés the 5th May, fresh and fruity wines that have been long been underestimated before returning once again to grace these last years. I hope that 2009 stirs up your five senses and that your lively spirit sparkles with a million lights !
Great my dear! Happy New year 2009 for you, your family and 5 sens member's club !
Thanks for happiness and conviviality.
