The Wine Society of Macau, AmCham Macau, DOC DMC Macau and co-organiser MGM are joining hands to present a Californian wine pairing experience, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on August 7 at the Vista, MGM COTAI.
The event features a fine selection of Californian wines, as well as food pairing curated by the chef’s team of MGM, for all wine enthusiasts in town to savour.
Serving 21 labels from signature wine regions of California, such as Napa and Sonoma, this particular wine pairing night is set to be one of the most unique and unprecedented occasions in Macau, to sip some of the most prestigious and sought-after Californian wines. Labels being served include resounding names like Joseph Phelps, Duckhorn Vineyards, Shafer, Grgich Hills, Freemark Abbey, Black Stallion, Far Niente and Robert Mondavi. Guests may also savour two jewels in the crown at the “Collector Wine” table – “Cask 23” of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and “Martha’s Vineyard” of Heitz Cellars.
Alongside the fine selection of wines, the event also serves a menu of 12 dishes that pair wonderfully with the bottles, curated by American chef Conor Beach, Chef de Cuisine of Grill 58, MGM COTAI and his team. Also originating from California, Chef Beach creates these exquisite dishes that pay homage to the state’s diverse gastronomy offering, by fusing techniques and ingredients from different cuisines, such as European, Asian and South American. Each of the dishes also makes a good pair with one or two wines from the line-up to perfect the pairing experience.
The event will be enlivened by the tunes of some of the greatest American song book hits played by the virtuoso Tomos Griffiths Jazz Trio.
Tickets are priced at 600 patacas per person. Price includes eight wine tokens, all-you-can-eat food and after-party access. Each token is worth 20 patacas to redeem wines and other drinks. All the wines can be tasted and purchased by the glass with said tokens. – mgmpr
