Finally. On Tuesday, I’ll be in town, have a sitter and am not under the weather (knock on wood). Because for the past few years, these were the reasons why I haven’t been able to attend the annual Bastille Day Celebration (the French national holiday which commemorates the storming of Bastille) put together by chef Jonathon Sawyer and The Greenhouse Tavern. I have heard from just about everyone how great this event is and am quite excited to finally attend.
The 4th annual Bastille Day Celebration for Slow Food will take place on the eve of Bastille Day – this Tuesday, July 13th, beginning at 6 p.m. Participating chefs and farmers include: Thaxtons Garlic (look for a q&a with them soon), Crepes du Luxe, Bar Symon, L’Albatros, Jeni’s Ice Creams, On the Rise, Flying Fig, ABC Tavern, Erie Island Coffee, Moxie/Red and more. Tickets are $75 for non-members and help benefit Slow Foods Northern Ohio.
A little later this month on July 22, chef Sawyer and team will be hosting the Au Bon Climat (which stands for well-exposed vineyard), or ABC wine dinner. Founded in 1982, ABC produces internationally recognized pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot blanc wines from grapes grown in California’s Santa Barbara county. The 5-course dinner is $60 pp. Visit here to see each course and wine pairing.
The Greenhouse Tavern has given me four tickets to giveaway, two for Bastille Day and two for the wine dinner. On Tuesday at noon, I’ll pick two winners via random.org. If you’d like to go, and are free to attend either, please leave a comment to be considered. Since most of us are still talking about recent events, er decisions, leave a comment telling us why you are loyal to the great city of Cleveland and you’ll be automatically entered.
Good luck –and a big thank you to The Greenhouse Tavern for giving away these tickets to readers!




We have winners! #89 for Bastille Day and #58 for the wine dinner. Thanks everyone. Don't worry if you didn't win, there will be several giveaways coming up so you'll have plenty more opps to win something.
