The restaurant was the perfect setting and it wowed guests. However, it was not the highlight of the event. Montecasino brought out its impressive wine collection paired with deliciously prepared and presented meals.
Four pairing stations were available where each wine was strategically paired with complementary food.
Guests were taken through each station by Tsogo Sun Group sommelier Miguel Chan and chef Benny Masekwameng. The wines were acquired at the 2014 annual Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Auction and Nederburg Auction.
Chan said food and wine pairing is something Montecasino prides themselves in. “The main concept behind the pairing is that certain elements such as texture and flavour, in both food and wine, interact with each other. Finding the right combination of these elements heightens the dining experience,” said Chan.
