Ah, mes amis—there is something truly magical about dining by the water, a glass of good wine in hand, as the sun begins to melt into the evening sky. It evokes memories of Springtime in Paris or a quiet bistro on the banks of the Seine. But this time, we find ourselves not in France, but in Las Vegas, yet you will be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transported, as Marché Bacchus Bistro invites you to an unforgettable culinary soirée.
Las Vegas Wine Tasting Dinner
On the evening of Thursday, May 1st at 6 PM, Marché Bacchus will host a five-course wine dinner in collaboration with the celebrated Robert Biale Vineyards—a name that sings with the soul of Napa and the craftsmanship of generations. The event, priced at $120 per person (plus tax and gratuity), promises an exquisite union of food, wine, and camaraderie in the most idyllic of settings: lakeside, beneath the soft glow of lanterns and laughter.
Alors mes amis, Robert Biale Vineyards - what a story, what a spirit! Nestled in the rolling hills of Napa Valley, this winery carries with it a rich heritage that began not in fame, but in quiet rebellion. During Prohibition, young Aldo Biale helped his family sell their homemade Zinfandel under the charming alias “Black Chicken”—a name that lives on today in one of their most iconic wines. What makes Biale unique, mes amis, is its unwavering devotion to old-vine Zinfandel, cultivated with care, often from vines that are decades—sometimes a century—old. These wines are bold, yet elegant; rustic, yet refined. They speak of the land, the hands that tend it, and the stories passed from vine to glass. And it is precisely this combination of depth and character that makes Biale the perfect companion for the menu at Marché Bacchus. Just as the dishes walk the line between classic technique and modern imagination, so too do these wines—structured enough to stand with lamb and pork, yet supple enough to let a truffle-scented chicken sing. In every sip, there is history, there is harmony, and most of all, there is joy. Las Vegas wine tasting dinner
Let us speak of the Marche Bacchus menu—because of course, it is here where the heart beats strongest.
We begin with beef carpaccio, sliced ever so thin, dressed delicately with pickled cherries—a touch of acidity and sweetness that dances with the lean, supple richness of the meat. A perfect opening, especially when accompanied by the bright, fruit-forward notes of one of Biale’s finely tuned wines. This is no mere appetizer; it is an invitation.
Then comes the black truffle chicken ballotine—ah, what a dish! The chicken, carefully deboned and filled, rolled, and cooked with gentle precision, infused with the earthy aroma of truffles. This is a dish that whispers rather than shouts, requiring care and finesse in both its preparation and its pairing. I imagine a white or perhaps a more delicate red here—something to lift the flavor, not mask it.
Our journey deepens with the braised pork cheeks—a humble cut, yes, but transformed through hours of patient cooking into a tender, melting morsel of pure comfort. It is in dishes like this where the soul of French cooking lives: taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. The wine? Something with body and depth—perhaps even the iconic Black Chicken Zinfandel, a wine with a story, and a character all its own. Bold, but never brash.
Next, the roasted lamb saddle. This is a dish of confidence—a beautiful cut of meat, full of flavor and generosity. Roasted until just pink, served with the kind of sauce that demands a good piece of bread to sop up every last drop. It is a moment to pause, to sip deeply, and to let conversation linger. Pair it with one of Biale’s complex reds, and you have a marriage of taste that borders on the sublime. Las Vegas wine tasting dinner
And then, my friends, we conclude with indulgence: a dark chocolate crémeux, luscious and velvety, paired with a Petite Sirah Port. This is no mere dessert. This is a final embrace—a deep, bittersweet sigh that lingers on the palate and in the memory. The port, with its rich, fortified warmth, is the perfect counterpoint: a toast to the end, and to the evening that was.
I have always believed that good food and wine are not simply about taste—they are about experience. About bringing people together, about sharing stories, about moments that, once passed, become part of who we are.
Marché Bacchus, with its quiet waters and softly flickering candles, offers just such a moment. This is not just a meal—it is a celebration. Of craftsmanship, of tradition, and of the simple, profound joy of sitting down at a table with others and saying: Let us eat, let us drink, let us live.
But take note: seats are limited, and an evening such as this Las Vegas wine tasting dinner waits for no one. Reserve your spot now, and join us for what promises to be a night to remember.
Bon appétit et à bientôt!
