The evening begins with the elegance of Mirabel Vineyards Blanc de Noir Okanagan 2020, perfectly accompanied by caviar and blinis, fried chicken brochettes, and a touch of indulgence with Kaviari Baeri caviar and spicy honey.

The first course features fresh and zesty lobster rolls alongside the vibrant Château Rieussec R 2021 and the layered complexity of Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2021.

The second course deepens the flavour journey with slices of Iberian ham and red pepper salsa, paired with the velvety Da Silva Vineyards Merlot Legado Series 2012 and the earthy finesse of Château Belle-Brise Pomerol 2011.

Next, savour the rich flavours of braised beef cheek ravioli matched with the iconic Château Pichon Longueville Pauillac 2009, the bold Cathiard Vineyard Founding Brothers Napa 2020, and the vibrant Rivero González Cabernet Franc RGMX Valle de Parras Mexico 2019.

The fourth course celebrates Italian winemaking mastery. It features a succulent rack of lamb with herb-crusted baby eggplant and Parmigiano, paired with the luxurious Tenuta dell’Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia 2006 and the legendary Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri 2006.

Finally, conclude the evening with an aged Gouda paired with the decadent Pondview Estate Bella Terra Cabernet Appassimento 2019, a wine as rich and nuanced as the evening itself.
