Which dishes would you recommend when a customer orders a bottle of Grüner Veltiner? How would you enrich your wine list with Austria’s elegant, cool climate white and red wines?
Join this bespoke training course to refresh your theoretical and practical knowledge about Austria – one of the world’s most sought after, premium cool climate wine countries. Master of Wine Debra Meiburg MW, will kick-off the event, while Master Sommelier and Austrian wine enthusiast Darius Allyn MS will present Austria’s wine regions and guide a tasting of classic and modern Austrian wines. Towards the end, Darius will lead a specially-designed exercise on Chinese and international food pairing – a challenge to find the perfect dish (or two!) from a restaurant menu to pair with Austrian wines.
This hands-on training opportunity will enhance your service skills and pairing abilities, while boosting your knowledge and tasting skills with Austrian wine.
