THE NEXT BIG SIP is a yearly event organized by the New York Chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier (LDNY) to discuss the biggest trends, and challenges to take place in the beverage world.
The Next Big Sip 2023 Program Booklet
This popular event began as an evening of concurrent dinners in major Big Apple restaurants, offering specially crafted menus and meet-the-chef opportunities. As we navigate the changes in our restaurant and hospitality industry, we look forward to creating opportunities and continuing to support the dining industry via our members, colleagues, friends, and sponsors.
Ticket price does not include processing fees. All ticket sales are final. Portion of proceeds benefit the LDNY Scholarship Fund.
On April 30th we celebrate Earth Month and indulge in two loves that come from Mother Nature: Natural Wine and Oysters!
Join LDNY and friends for a unique Oyster 101 Masterclass and Natural Wine pairing event with Dames Michael-Ann Rowe (seafood expert) and Jenny Lefcourt (CEO, Jenny and François Selections).
Dame Michael-Ann will teach us the essentials of appreciating oysters with an unforgettable tasting and shucking demonstration, exploring “merroir “(derived from terroir) as it applies to oyster appellation and provenance. Also, tips on buying and serving oysters.
Dame Jenny will pair hand-selected natural wines with the oysters, teaching us about natural wine-growing methods; what is natural wine, and what is the natural wine movement in general.
After the event, Dame Alex Ivanac is generously hosting an a la carte dinner at her restaurant, Villa Berulia, and offering a 30% discount for all registrants. To reserve your spot, answer yes or no at ticket check-out.
This is an event that will level up your knowledge and conversations about wine and oysters, and celebrates the bounty and beauty of our planet. This will sell out quickly. Please register asap to secure your spot. We hope to see you there!
