Wine vs. Beer Dinner

Friday, August 26th

Wine vs. Beer Dinner featuring

Moet Hennessy USA vs. Stone Brewing Company

For centuries, the debate has raged between beer vs. wine, and now it will be put to test in a very special dinner that will let you decide!

On August 26th, the Duck Club Restaurant will add a twist to its beer and winemaker dinner series by pitting the beer and wine against each other in a special tasting menu prepared by executive chef Jon Avalos.

Stone Brewing Company and its co-founder Greg Koch will represent the beer side of the debate against Chris Siconolfi, of Moet Hennessy USA, to determine which beverage pairs best with a specially prepared menu.

During the four-course meal, each dish will be paired with a Moet Hennessy USA selection and a Greg Koch-chosen beer. Once the diners try both the beer and wine, they'll fill out a scorecard, and results will be tabulated and announced at the end of the dinner.

Welcome our new Food and Beverage Manager, Daniel Jun

Daniel Jun has recently joined our team at the Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa. He hails from an extensive background in the hospitality industry, having worked his way up from coat check to busser, through both the back of the house and front of the house, to management by the age of 23. Although his degree was in chemistry from Boston University, he finds that science is limited in its ability to describe what happens when flavors combine. 'Chemistry helps us understand how many ingredients come together to make a finished product. Just the same, a great dining experience requires many different elements to come together.'



Prior to working with the Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa, Daniel was recently working at Pierro Selvaggio's Valentino's in Las Vegas. His previous restaurant experience includes Legal Sea Foods and Bertucci's.  Welcome to the team Daniel!
