Crystal Springs to welcome Krug champagne

HAMBURG — Crystal Springs Resort welcomes Krug, one of the most storied houses in Champagne, for an exclusive Wine Cellar Krug Dinner in celebration of the 2004 vintage release on Dec. 14. Krug vintages are only bottled in the best of years and the 2004 is considered an excellent year for Champagne.
Executive Chef Anthony Bucco has created a six-course tasting menu featuring the season’s favorite ingredients to pair with these rich, elegant Champagnes. The evening starts with a reception with Krug Grande Cuvee, a complex, creamy Champagne with notes of hazelnut, nougat, citrus fruits and more. The menu showcases the versatility of Krug and includes pairings such as Belon Oyster with uni and caviar; Langoustine with salsify and vanilla; Chestnut Raviolo with hen's egg and white truffle; and Foie Gras with sweet potato and quince. For the Krug 2004 vintage, Bucco will pair the fresh, zesty, spiced lemon and citrusy Champagne with Pheasant, apple and black truffle.
Dinner is $165 inclusive of Krug pairing (tax and gratuity additional). The evening will begin at 6:30pm with a canape reception; seated dinner at 7 p.m. Reservations can be made at 866-976-7286.
