On June 21, The Fragrance Foundation’s Associate Board presented the Pop Your Cork…Naturally event at City Winery in New York City, featuring a four-course tasting menu that was paired with wine and fragrance. The meal, imagined by Chef Jonathan Lindenauer, former Chef de Partie and Sous Chef at Jean Georges and Chef de Cuisine at Bon Appétit, incorporated flavorful seasonal and local ingredients to create each dish. Organic wines that corresponded to each course were chosen by Jenny Lefcourt, Co-Founder of Jenny & François Wine Selections, who informed guests on the beneficial components of organic versus conventional wines before they were able to experience the first pairing. To round out the evening, Olivia Jan, Senior Perfumer of Robertet, completed every course with a natural fragrance accord she developed to accompany the flavors, along with a fifth and final scent collectively representing the meal. Ms. Jan stated that she selected notes that were inspired by her love of nature and reminiscent of her childhood memories of the outdoors in northeastern France.
The evening concluded with a raffle drawing to benefit The Fragrance Foundation’s Making Sense of Scents educational program. Headed by the Associate Board, this program introduces the world of fragrance to elementary school students.
