Chloe Johnston Takes Tastebuds on a Journey Through Regions of France with Wine Tasting at Union League

Story, photos by Deja Cromartie

The celebration of Chloe Johnston’s New York Expansion continued with her Regions of France Wine Tasting at the Union League this fall.
She was joined by Sommelier Bret Barrett, who shared his vast knowledge of wines. Guest participated in a scavenger hunt and had the opportunity to win fun prizes including a collection of curated wines. A medley of delicious cheeses were available with the wine and it was a nice break in the middle of the week to relax with a glass of wine (or two… or three).
Some of the activities in the scavenger hunt required guests to take a wine selfie, find a wine cork, find the Chloe Johnston Look of the Month, and more. There were a variety of whites are reds for guests to taste as well as paired cheeses, fruits and crackers. A lovely display of desserts adorned the table as guest got ready to leave for the night, which you could pair with wine… or coffee.
