Held at Mallebar Brasserie in Plymouth on June 6, 2019, almost exactly one year after Anthony Bourdain’s death, the wine dinner included eight courses prepared by eight different chefs and inspired by some of Bourdain’s favorite meals from his notorious travels to the farthest reaches of the world. Paired with Maisons & Domaines Henriot wines presented by Northeast Regional Manager Ethan Hunt, each course was a stunningly detailed tribute to a chef and man who inspired so many in this region and beyond. Though nothing will soften the blow of his loss, the Bourdain wine dinner did an incredible job of honoring his memory, and all proceeds—over $7,000—went to benefit the Plymouth County Suicide Prevention Coalition.
