We’re delighted to host Haus Alpenz founder Eric Seed for a dinner featuring an assortment of exquisite Madeira wines from producer Henriques & Henriques. Inspired by fall ingredients and his recent travels to Portugal, Chef Andy will prepare a five-course meal to accompany them.

Held on Wednesday October 24 at 6:30pm, the ticketed dinner will cost $100 per person, which includes tax and gratuity. We managed to pry a draft of the menu out of Andy, and it looks pretty exciting (see below).

As an importer, Haus Alpenz is among the companies most easily associated with the resurrection of interest in previously cherished products like vermouth, amaro, and, of course, Madeira. While many today associate Madeira with cooking wine or the back of a grandparent’s liquor cabinet, it has been a cherished style of wine for most of its 500-year history – perhaps most famously used to toast the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

If you’re new to Madeira, Wine Folly has a good introductory primer. But in short, it’s a long-lived, unique, delicious drink that happens to be perfect for a fall meal.

For the dinner, we’ll feature a number of products from Henriques & Henriques – from dry wines to single vintage to dessert-oriented styles – and Eric will be on hand to walk us through these underappreciated treats.

Tickets are non-refundable, offered on a first come-first served basis, and are only available online. Price includes tax and gratuity. While we are happy to accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions, we kindly request that you let us know upon booking so we can plan accordingly.
