Thursday, June 25 · 7 to 9 p.m. · The Wine Room
Eighteen seats. $150 per person.
Provence comes to Beverly Hills. For one evening, the wine room becomes a corner of the South of France. We pour the rosés of Domaines Ott against cheeses chosen for each glass.
I. The Welcome. A three-liter pour of Château Romassan from a past vintage. Large-format bottles age more slowly. The wine inside has been waiting for an evening like this one.
II. The Flights. Two flights of the current Domaines Ott releases. Each wine paired with a cheese from the case, hand-chosen for the glass.
III. The Finale. A Provençale salad, followed by our take on Salade Niçoise. Tuna poached in house. Olives, beans, eggs, the works. Built for the wine.
Domaines Ott. Provence, since 1912.
Marcel Ott was a young Alsatian agricultural engineer when he arrived in Provence at the turn of the century. He bought the first estate, Château de Selle, in 1912, betting that this corner of France could grow wines worth aging. Few people agreed with him then.
Four generations later, the family is still here. Still farming. Domaines Ott is widely considered the house that made Provençal rosé a wine to take seriously.
I. Château de Selle. Côtes de Provence. The first estate. Acquired 1912. Limestone slopes inland from the coast.
II. Clos Mireille. Côtes de Provence. The coastal estate. Acquired 1936. The vines almost touch the Mediterranean.
III. Château Romassan. Bandol. The Bandol estate. Acquired 1956. Home of the three-liter you will open first.
Grapes picked at night, when the fruit is cool. Pressed gently. Vinified at low temperatures to preserve the delicate aromatics that make Ott, Ott. Bottled in the slender amphora-shaped flute the family designed in the 1930s and has never changed.
Few houses are this serious about rosé.

Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
