Riedel Food & Wine Tastings:	Have you ever really *tasted* wine? This event is an incredible journey of discovery for everyone. Savour a combination of tastes – wine, food, cheese and dessert that and enjoy an informative evening on Riedel stemware. How can five different glasses make one wine taste so different? We start off with a welcome toast of Prosecco and mingle while enjoying chef Derek Hines (Artbar Restaurant) absolutely incredible Potato Martinis. Journey through a tasting of Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon in Riedel stemware, each wine matched with food pairings such as Thai Crispy Wings, Smoked Salmon on Green Lentil Pancakes, Pan-Seared Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Heirloom Tomato Ratatouille, Petite Beef Wellington with Forest Mushrooms and Pommery Mustard Glaze, a selection of cheeses, coffee and dessert. Then take home your own set of Vitis Riedel Tasting Glasses (retail value of $170.00). That would mean that the dinner and drinks are on us! This experience is limited in size and sells out quickly.
