On October 21, Abe & Louie’s will welcome Marc Hochar, third generation winemaker of Lebanon’s Chateau Musar, to the Back Bay for a night of perfect pairings. Chateau Musar, a winery located in Ghazir, was the first producer in Lebanon to achieve organic certification for its own vineyards in 2006. The Hochar family’s 220 hectares of Musar vineyards, hand-harvested by local Bedouins between August and October, hold a philosophy of respect for the environment managed with minimal interference.
Hochar will team up with Abe & Louie’s executive chef, Mark Mariano, in presenting a Mediterranean-inspired menu designed for the cuisine and wine to balance brilliantly. During the reception, the 2022 Musar Jeune Rosé will be complemented by the chef’s selection of passed hors d’oeuvres. The first course is lamb carpaccio with harissa aioli, pickled beets and mint paired with a 2000 Chateau Musar Rouge. Moving to the entrée, oenophiles will sip two standouts from the collection – the 1997 Chateau Musar Rouge and a 2017 Chateau Musar Blanc – while indulging in “land and sea,” a petite filet and baked-stuffed lobster tail with creamed spinach and root vegetable pave. For dessert, there’s a chocolate olive oil cake with blackberry compote and house whipped mascarpone served alongside L’Arack de Musar, the vineyard’s aniseed-flavored spirit.
