Kris Ocean Race

Organisation : / Classé dans : Autres

Le Consulat général de France à New York accueille l’équipe de la Kris Ocean Race jeudi 26 avril pour une réception et une présentation du projet.

NEW YORK CITY, la ville de tous les rêves, verra s’élancer le 7 juillet 2012 la flotte des MOD70 sur la première édition de la KRYS OCEAN RACE.

NEW YORK BY THE SEA…

Arpentez les rives de Manhattan et peut être découvrirez-vous la petite marina de North Cove, un havre de tranquillité aux pieds des buildings new yorkais de la City.

Ce petit port sur les bords de l’Hudson River, près de Battery Park, accueillera la flotte des MOD70 avant la traversée de 2950 milles qui la conduira à Brest.

Si pour la première fois une course de multicoques quittera New York City, Big Apple n’en est pas à son coup d’essai en matière d’investissement dans le milieu nautique.

En 1851, le 1er Commodore du New York Yacht club, fit construire la goélette América pour défier à Cowes le Yachting anglais. America traverse l’Atlantique et gagne sous le pavillon du New York Yacht Club la régate organisée par le Royal Yacht Squadron. Les navigateurs new yorkais repartent ainsi avec « la Coupe des 100 guinées » qui deviendra la Coupe de l’América. Ils la défendront victorieusement pendant 132 ans jusqu’à ce que les australiens l’emportent en 1983.

C’est dans le sillage de cette histoire qu’aujourd’hui le Manhattan Yacht Club se positionne et accueille la flotte des MOD70 sur les pontons de North Cove Marina.

Wine Tour de France 2012 Green Terroir: The Organic Debate

Organisation : / Classé dans : Autres, Conférences, Receptions

Monday, April 30th, 2012 at 7:00PM
FIAF, Le Skyroom

“Wine is still the only product with no mandatory labeling, so you don’t actually know what you are really drinking—producers can add more than a hundred additives into a wine; not only sulfites, but many others. This is why I think it is interesting to consider wines that are made without the use of additives and are organically and biodynamically farmed and vinified.”
—Pascaline Lepeltier, Time Out New York (October 25, 2011)

Explore and taste a selection of organic, biodynamic, and sustainable wines from classic wine regions of France (Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Loire Valley), as well as rare gems from Italy and Spain.

Created using natural and artisanal methods of production, earth-friendly wines are said to offer incredible value at affordable prices, a complex flavor that more accurately reflects their terroir, and additional health benefits thanks to a decrease in additives. Sample a unique selection from AOC Fine Wines, known for its extensive portfolio of artisanal and organic wines.

Pascaline Lepeltier, Wine Director at the Michelin-starred Rouge Tomate, New York’s leading green-dining restaurant, takes you beyond the green label, dispels branding myths, and discusses the values of sustainable wine-making and wine-tasting.
