Simple Rules on Matching Food & Wine Tasting and Talk
Pairing wine with food is often reduced to what goes with the basic
ingredient in a dish whether it’s fish or chicken or made unnecessarily
complicated by trying to find a scientific basis for the whole exercise.
But anyone can master the art with a few simple rules. Noel MacMahon, Wine Educator at Febvre Wines will go through a few simple rules with examples and a tasting of food friendly wines.
3.30pm
Wine Menu Clinic
Bring along your food and wine menus and the Febvre team will give you advice on your wine selection and the ones best suited to your food menu and style. We’ll also give you tips on menu layout, descriptions and how to sell through your list. David Boxall from Bermar Wine Preservation Systems will also be on hand to show you how to meet growing consumer demand for quality wines served by the glass and how to increase the value of your wine by the glass sales.
