Springtime in Provence, Authentic Provencal Cuisine, Wines and Cheese

The arrival of Spring-or printemps in French-is a time to embrace lengthening days, warm breezes, and blooming flowers... After the cold, dark days of winter, we are again treated to the renewal of the cycle of life!
It is my favorite time of year, and my experience of it in Provence created some of the most lasting and vivid memories… The soft pastel colors of ancient limestone villages contrasting with the deep blue sky and sparkling Mediterranean, creamy drifts of almond and cherry blossoms dotting the hills, the heavy fragrance of rosemary, wild thyme and wisteria combined with the briny scent of the ocean … It is an unforgettable symphony that is uniquely Provence!
And that magical symphony is also found in the diversity of Provençal cuisine. In Spring early vegetables such as asparagus, new potatoes and peas reappear and village fish markets – spotty in the winter months - are once again full of the mornings catch. The grapevines, cultivated in Provence since the 4th century BC, are once again pushing new growth that promises wines perfectly paired with the essentials of Provençal cuisine: olives and olive oil, garlic, wild herbs, peppers and saffron.
Living in the shadow of DC its sometimes easy to what life is really all about… fine food, wine, music, and company to enjoy it with. Shiloh is partnering with Chef Erik Foxx Nettnin, The Polished Foxx, to bring an authentic Spring Provençal dinner, complete with paired imported wines, that uniquely capture the tastes and smells of the south of France. Live French bistro music provided!
