KIR ROYALE, FOUR WAYS

BARRAMUNDAYS, WINE & VINYL

A Toast to Peace..

Felix Kir, born in 1876, was a Catholic priest, resistance fighter, and later Mayor of Dijon up until his death in 1968. During his work for the French Resistance, he helped the escape of 5,000 prisoners of war.  Arrested, wounded, and condemned to death, he managed to survive, and was made a knight of the Legion d'Honneur in 1945. 

Our hero popularized a local drink, blanc cassis (created around 1841), by offering it to visiting delegations. Thus the internationally popular drink, the Kir, was born. The drink consists of white wine and a splash of creme de cassis, a blackcurrant liqueur. The Kir Royale uses champagne or sparkling wine. 

Tomorrow night at Barramundi, we honor Monsieur Kir with a New Year's Toast: Kirs or Kir Royales with your choice of the classic Creme de Cassis, Pear, Framboise (Rasberry), or Peche (Peach).
