We are excited to host an intimate dinner with winemaker Marie Zusslin from Alsace on our *soft* opening night. Enjoy a chance to sample a set menu of small plates from Chef Tim East paired with delicious wines from the Alsace. Due to the intimate nature of the dinner, we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions at this moment. Please reach out to vish@beanrg.com for any clarifications!

'The Zusslin wines reflect precision. They are characterized by acidity, energy a savory quality that can only be described as saltiness. '
- The New York Times, Eric Asimov

Since 1997, the estate is led solely by the principles of biodynamic viticulture in order to re-create a universe suitable for biodiversity. These principles encourage the expression of the soil and environment from Zusslin’s three terroirs. A strict selection of their grapes in the vineyards and at the cellar gives to the wines concentration and elegance.

There is no interference in the natural process of fermentation and aging of the wines. The vitality, substance & moreover the energy given by the biodynamic viticulture make Zusslin’s wines worth enjoying and drinking
