Ian Tattersall is among the world's most celebrated paleoanthropologists. Curator Emeritus of the American Museum of Natural History, Ian's current work is focused on how "human beings are symbolic, meaning that we mentally disassemble the world around us into a vocabulary of abstract symbols - which we can then recombine in our minds to create alternative versions of reality." He's also quite the wine connoisseur and has co-authored 3 exceptional books, among them, "The Natural History of Beer" We're thrilled he agreed to curate a dinner based on his global journey exploring the history of Homo Sapiens, and the original sites where wine, beer and spirits were conceived by humanity. 4-Courses Paired with 11 Wines, and, of course, a Beer!

Join Pascaline for a deep dive into a place she loves so much: Anjou noir and its chenins. Growing up in Angers, she was lucky to discover wine in the unique microsome of the late 90s & early 2000s when the area was going through a revolution, a (re-)birth of dry chenin. Learning from visionary vigneronnes & vignerons, she was exposed to the importance of real farming, of life, intuition, and the respect to make bottles that express the place, the soil, and the soul. This dinner is an invitation to discover this journey, and to explore the diversity of the schisty hills, valleys, and plateaus of the area interpreted by producers she can call friends. It will be a very special evening for those who want a better understanding of chenin!
