VENUE: XI YAN private dining
38 A CRAIG ROAD
DATE: Weds 19th October 2005
CHALLENGE:
BAROLO
versus
BARBARESCO
Set up by HongKong gourmets, this is a private dining restaurant which specialises in Chinese fusion food. The basic cuisine is SzeChuan, but it is fused with influences from Thailand and Vietnam.
We will be treated to Degustation Menu of 13 of their signature dishes and the net price is $80 per person.
It promises to be a very exciting Challenge, and our very first Coterie with Asian food.
Ganesh and myself have decided that there will be a white Nebbiolo wine served as Aperitif, but it will not compete. For the competition, there will be five wines from each region, making a total of 10 Red wines to be savoured and judged.

ABOUT ME
I am a lover of great friends who rise to greater heights when they are emboldened by the inebriation of the grape. Great wine should not be judged by the label and all wines should be tasted blind so that any prejudices are scattered in the wind like so much pollen in a storm. We therefore meet every month or so to challenge each other to discover the best value wines possible - all in the company of great food, convivium and friendship. Please check out the FaveLinks below to learn more about our little Coterie.
