Wine and Cheese Pairing Magic

The savory of cheese, is always one of the best matches with various wines, ranging from white, red to Sauterne and also Port.

However, there are too many names and brands to remember in cheese and we may find it quite difficult to order or buy cheeses in a restaurant or supermarket even if we are cheese lovers.

On 18 Oct 2008 (Sat) afternoon, we are going to  arrange a wine and cheese pairing session to taste different cheeses with wines, and to learn more about cheeses and the magic of cheese and wine pairing.  This should be an afternoon that all cheese and wine lovers could not miss.

To add more spiciness to this tempting event, we are going to conduct this event in one of the only 2 Enomatic wine bars in Hong Kong: the Tastings Wine Bar in Central, which was newly opened in July 2008.
