We hope you will join us for a very special event at Mena on Monday, June 27th at 4:30pm:
We all love beer and wine, but fermentation goes way beyond barley and grapes. Here in New York, craft producers are making their mark with artisanal, thoughtful renditions of traditional fermentations of fruit and grains (as Chilean chicha), rice wines (as Korean Makgeolli and other forms of sool) and honey (as mead, dandelion wine, and bochet). Join Chef Victoria in conversation with Mena’s own “Dr. J”- Arielle Johnson- and friends Alice Jun from Hana Makgeolli, and Raphael Lyon of Enlightenment Wines Meadery to discuss the craft, science, and spirit of flavor in traditional, untraditional, and tradition-inspired drinks and their interplay with cuisine.
