Chicago Magazine is reporting that Robert Sulatycky has resigned after three years as the executive chef at Seasons (Chicago Four Seasons Hotel).
The former Vancouver chef and Bocuse d'Or participant is quoted as saying, "There's nothing firmed up yet but I've always had a dream to make wine and I'm going to chase after that dream. I will be cooking somewhere for the next couple years-- until my little wine project is ready to take off." His last night on the job in Chicago was July 8.
At Gismondi On Wine, Sulatycky's first review has just been published.
89/100 Robert Allen Sauvignon Blanc 2004
Napa Valley, California, United States
A new wine with a Vancouver connection. Robert Sulatycky former executive chef at Seasons (Four Seasons Hotel Chicago), Four Seasons Toronto and Bacchus Wedgewood Vancouver is moving to Los Angeles to pursue a dream to make wine. He will cook somewhere for the next two years as he waits for his project to take off. The first edition of his new wine venture ― the Robert Allan Sauvignon Blanc ― appears to be on the right track. It has a clean, aromatic nose with passion fruit, green melon, floral, grassy aromas and a touch of bell pepper. It's fresh, round and crisp on entry with a slightly oily texture and a hint of sweetness. Again, passion fruit, grapefruit, melon and jalapeño flavours persistent. Fine styling and intensity - definitely made to enjoy with food.
