Over the course of the next few months, the One Off Hospitality collective is hosting a brand new series of wine dinners spanned across their family of restaurants including avec West Loop, avec River North, and Publican Quality Meats.
From celebrating bottles from places like the Greek Islands, Portugal, and the Basque region of Spain with the avec team, to pairing pours with an exclusive taste of charcuterie aged for the past two years in PQM’s curing room by Head Butcher + Chef Rob Levitt, each one-night-only event offers sips from that evening’s region of focus along with food to fit the theme.
Starting off on Tuesday, August 31st from 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 P.M., Chef Rob will kick off the series with the team at PQM. For the past two years, Levitt + the team at PQM have worked to develop a series of locally sourced charcuterie offerings hung in the shop’s curing room, culminating in a limited collection of meats to be showcased at the Rare Charcuterie Wine Dinner. From pork, foie gras, and escargot terrine to Umbrian salami and 2-year aged American guinea hog ham, each course is paired with wines hand selected by Beverage Director David Branch.
In Rob’s words, "The idea for the Rare Charcuterie dinner came from a conversation I had with my Sous Chef, Kyle Huff. We were talking about how we wanted to make these really delicious, unique items — either something new we could experiment with or a cut of meat we'd cure from an awesome heritage breed pig sourced from a special farm. After hanging the meats to cure at PQM for years, we wanted to find a way to show these things off, rather than putting them in the charcuterie case. Thus, the wine dinner was born!"
The dinner is $125 per person and reservations are available on Tock:
9/8: Basque Wine Dinner — avec River North 9/9: Harvest Wine Dinner — Publican Quality Meats 9/15: Portugal Wine Dinner — Avec River North 9/15: Greek Islands Wine Dinner — avec West Loop
