In medieval France, the Alsatian town of Colmar—now considered the capital of Alsatian wine—had a flourishing Jewish community that played a leading role in the region's wine business. This group was decimated by the Black Plague, but a cache of valuable decorative objects from that time discovered hidden in the wall of a confectioner's shop has shed light on the opulent culture of Colmar's Jews. Celebrated chef and author Yotam Ottolenghi explores the deep Jewish roots of Colmar through the region's wine and cuisine in a magical evening of conversation, food, and wine.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Colmar Treasure: A Medieval Jewish Legacy.
