How many of you have a dilemma what to choose to drink when eating strongly flavoured dishes? Many of us wine lovers opt for a pint of beer, however there are many styles of wine which complement perfectly those dishes.
Come and discover it for yourselves.
We will taste 8 wines dramatically different in style and retaste them with the samples of spicy foods from around the world.
This is a perfect tasting to help wine lovers select wines which not only stand up to but positively complement the highly flavoured or spicy foods from around the world that we Brits seem to love.
Whether it's Thai, Chinese, Singaporean, Malaysian, Indian, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Korean, Japanese, Indian and Pakistani, Burmese or Sri Lankan there are beautiful and interesting wines which are a match made in heaven for both delicate and strongly flavoured food.
Of course spicy dishes are not restricted to Asia, so feel free to adopt the same principles to the flavours of North African, Eastern Mediterranean or Latin American dishes.
Date: Thursday 26th February 2009
Time: 7-9pmVenue: The Marlborough Hotel, 9-13 Bloomsbury St London WC1 This 2 hour workshop provides practical demonstration of the effect of food on wine and vice versa. We will taste 8 wines of different styles. We will retaste them with different samples of food and discuss the consequences. There will be a virtual visit to a restaurant where you will choose the wine matching the menu. You will also prepare a dinner party and choose the wine for the prepared dishes--virtually, of course.
Next time you will be able to choose the perfect bottle for your dish.
