Do you believe that food and wine choices are subjective? If so you're right! Chips and Chateau Lafite or Sauterns with Steak, anything goes when choosing for yourself - it's which wine you like with which food you like. However, how do you choose for a group of forty people when your own personal favourite is kippers and port! In this sumptuous challenge we share our secrets.
Our expert gives a humorous, anecdotal introduction to the palate and food and wine culture, with a computer animated show. Guests are given a wide range of wines to taste with a selection of specially prepared canapes or a set menu over lunch or dinner. After recording likes and dislikes, they then award the pairing a mark based on the principles of balance, as would a professional sommelier (that smart looking French chap in restaurants). Marks are then compared to those of our expert and points awarded.
This fun, interactive challenge helps guests to set aside their personal preferences and judge food and wine objectively, whilst relaxing in a convivial, stimulating atmosphere.
