“Restaurant Owner, Mario Monroy and I have wanted to pair local wines together with our cuisine at our restaurant for a long time now. Having our dream realized when there has been so much more recognition in Lake County’s ability to create wonderful wines, makes it even more special” said restaurant general manager, Julie Hoskins.
Chic le Chef has worked with the local wine industry for the past decade pairing special culinary dishes with local wine. The effort it takes to create special dish and wine combinations are worth the end result of having a memorable meal to present to guests. The wines and wineries of Lake County have evolved much over the last ten years and along with it, consumer’s palates.
The chefs at Chic le Chef find it exciting to have the opportunity to work with clients who have developed a more sophisticated palate and an expanded appreciation for the wines of Lake County.
