From the inbox...Champagne Dinner at Waterleaf on December 12
Here's another great event to pop up in my inbox. Take a look at the line-up for this amazing meal:
"We are proud and pleased to present the wonderful Champagnes from Besserat de Bellefon, which is celebrating its 170th anniversary this year," said Jean-Pierre Leroux, General Manager of Waterleaf. "The vineyard, located in the Marne Valley of the Champagne region, is situated in an area known for its excellent Pinot Meunier grapes. The wines are noteworthy, combining years of experience with modern winemaking technique. The result is a collection of wines with a creamy froth and bubbles that are 30% finer than other Champagnes. They pair remarkably well with food; and are perfectly in tune with today's Champagne connoisseurs."
Waterleaf restaurant is located at 425 Fawell Boulevard in Glen Ellyn, IL. The 150-seat restaurant led by General Manager Jean-Pierre Leroux and Executive Chef Nadia Tilkian is a hidden gem, nestled on the campus of the College of DuPage. Featuring moderately priced brunch, lunch and dinner options, expect to find locally-sourced ingredients on its approachable menu. In addition to a seasonal a la carte menu, Waterleaf features specials events like wine dinners, a prix-fixe 3-course dinner for $35 and an annual food & wine festival every fall.
