Napa Valley Wine Dinner

Napa Valley Wine Dinner is a wine-appreciation dinner held on 12 December, 2017 at Feringgi Grill, at the Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa. It brought together wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs to taste and enjoy the best of California's Napa Valley wines. The event was made possible by Luen Heng F&B Sdn Bhd, in conjunction with Treasury Wine Estates and Penfolds, along with Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa, of course.

The evening was an opportunity for enthusiasts to become acquainted to the main vineyards of Napa Valley as well as the different types of wines produced there. On hand to provide an interpretation of Napa Valley wines was its wine ambassador, Mr Sam Stephens. Among the well known vineyards include Beringer and Stags' Leap. During this event, diners get to taste various white and red wines, including the Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir and the Petite Sirah.

The Wine Dinner was an 8-course meal where the dishes were paired with different Napa Valley wines. Let me show you what we enjoyed, course by course.
