One additional way is that 10 percent of the profits will go to charity. The nonprofit they’re working with is No Kid Hungry, an organization that works to improve childhood nutrition that has worked frequently with chefs and the restaurant community.

About five years ago, Dustin Wilson became the wine manager at Eleven Madison Park and Thomas Pastuszak became the wine manager at NoMad. At a similar point in their careers at restaurants in the same group, the two bonded over their shared interests, among which was a love of the wines of the Northern Rhone.

With weekend fetes on the New York City calendar of Burgundy, Champagne, and others, there was an opening for a Northern Rhone event. “For us, we felt it was simply a matter of time until somebody jumped on this. We’ve hit on a point in our career where we are very well positioned and the timing was appropriate for us to do it.

The flagship event is the Reboule, a $600/head BYOB dinner bacchanal with winemakers who’ll be bringing back-vintages in their cellars. Participating chefs include Daniel Humm of EMP and Abram Bissel of NoMad. But the best value is the afternoon tastings where the winemakers will pour their releases.
The best wines in the Northern Rhone, syrah’s ancestral homeland, represent something of a Lorelei with their alluring, savory call of herbs and black olives, to me. The producers here a veritable murderer’s row of manufacturers. So it’s tough to imagine what the Reboule will do for an encore. But that is a problem for next year.

Last year, when they were visiting cellars in the area they hatched the idea to have a weekend celebration of Northern Rhone wines in New York City. Thus Reboule du Rhone was born with the first weekend of events slated for November 17-19. Pastuszak says that a few of the dozen producers have never been to New York before. Part of their motivation was to provide “the sommelier community a chance to get in front of these heralded producers,” he says.
