Wine dinner replaces books, instructional videos, magazines, lectures and even wine tasting as the most effective and enjoyable way to learn more about wine. YATS Restaruant was the first in the Philippines to hold wine dinners and is the most experienced in this area.
Wine dinner is not just about drinking a different wine with each course of a meal. Far too many wine dinners turn out to be a marketing ploy by some wine supplier trying to promote their products. A wine dinner should never be about selling wines. It should always be about illustrating a certain point about wine (and food) in general.
Upcoming in Clark and Manila are many wine dinners all with different themes. For example, a recent wine dinner held several weeks ago at Summer Palace of EDSA Shangrila illustrate how it is possible to pair wine with traditional chinese food, not fusion but simple family-styled Chinese dinner.
Upcoming are wine dinners that focus on food with older vintages, regional wine dinners featuring food and wine from Tuscany, Rhone, Spain etc., and an all-Cabernet Sauvignon evening.
