Chef Daniel Bruce wants to have dinner with you tonight to celebrate a haute Louis XIII dinner produced by the prestigious House of Rémy Martin in the town of Cognac, France. At the three-course dinner held in Boston Harbor Hotel‘s Rowes Wharf Bar, you will sip on a variety of lavish wines paired with some haute cuisine prepared by one of our favorite chefs finishing off with a grand finale dessert paired alongside a pour of Louis XIII. (Louis XIII contains Grande Champagne and is aged anywhere from 40 to 100 years). Joining Chef tonight will be Brand Ambassador Philippe Vasilescu to celebrate Louis XIII cognac.

“This is our second year in a row hosting this dinner,” Bruce said. “The market certainly dictates that we can do these high end dinners. I think more and more people have discretionary income and are looking to spend it on a special night out. The dinner tonight is being held in the bar because it’s more of a spirit than a wine dinner. We will be featuring Chateau Cos d’Estournel during the second course, which is a nice tie-in to the Boston Wine Festival’s dinner being held on February 16.”
Tickets to tonight’s dinner, which gets started at 7:30 p.m., are $315 per person (including tax and gratuity).
