The Perfect Pair: A Frenchman and an Englishman Pair Spring Wine and Food for ENO Wine Bar's First Outdoor ENO Pop Down in May at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC

With warm weather on its way, #enopopdown is the ideal place to unwind on Tuesday evenings after a full day at the office

April 24, 2018,  Washington, DC, U.S.A.

Knowing Washingtonian’s love for outdoor dining, ENO Wine Bar’s Wine Director and resident Frenchman from Cahors Hugo Lefevre has teamed up with Four Seasons Hotel Washington Executive #chef and Birmingham, England native Andrew Court to curate ENO’s first pop up outdoor #eventENO Pop Down.

Launching on May 1, 2018, #enopopdown takes the wine bar’s cosy and friendly atmosphere into a garden setting on Tuesdays in May from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. ENO patrons are invited to the covered outdoor George Washington Terrace at Four Seasons for live music, magician performances and #food and wine specials.

ENO Pop Down’s menu will offer perfectly paired dishes and wines crafted by #chef Court and handpicked by Lefevre for the ultimate outdoor #food and wine experience. The highlights include:

  • Torched goat cheese salad reminds #chef of his time in Northern California. Lefevre pairs this dish with a glass of muscadet. The light and crisp acidity of the melon de Bourgogne grape used to vinify the wine cuts through the rich and bold flavours of the goat cheese while not overpowering the palate. Its fruitiness enhances the flavours of the sweet and savoury tomato jam without taking away from the plate's charming marriage of flavours.
  • Marinated fig and blue cheese salad was inspired by #chef Court’s hometown where he enjoyed figs with stilton cheese. To accompany this spring salad, Lefevre suggests a glass of sparkling rosé from the Jura region. The pinot noir grapes used to make this rosé creates a fruity, acidic and crispness that balances the salad’s intense flavours.
