Wine & Dine with Ed Soon

The Perfect Pairing With Bordeaux Wines
Discover the secrets behind the art of food and wine pairing,
with wine author, speaker and enologist, Edwin Soon

Wine Cellar & Tasting Room wine bistro is proud to present you a one-night only wine dinner affair conducted by renowned wine author, speaker and enologist Edwin Soon. A familiar name in Malaysia for his regular wine columns in The Star newspaper, Soon will be sharing the principles of food and wine pairing with guests during the Bordeaux wine dinner and will put some emphasis on Asian dishes. Unlike most wine dinners, this will involve an interactive session, where guests will be able to test and taste for themselves how different flavours can bring out the best and worst of wines.

Five Bordeaux wines will be tasted ranging from whites, reds, and Sauternes. It will be accompanied with a 4 course customised European menu with hints of Asian influences.
