Last Thursday I was invited by O Gourmet Food Hall Bangsar Shopping Center for a Wine Tasting Event.
Located in front of Cold Storage, this corner present to you some of the finest wines and also Malaysian only Cheese Room which you can buy some premium imported cheese.
Do you know that wine pairing with foods are crucial as if you mix it with the wrong combination, the food or wine will taste bad. Be it a thousand dollar bottle of Lafite and served with a wrong food, there goes the taste.
With 2 sommeliers around, we were introduced to a range of Bordeaux (French) and Argentina wines by Michele Rolland.

Sommelier Sebastian
It was an intimate private session where there are only 6 of us from the media who attend for this event. The foods were usually prepared by an unannounced chef that will only appear at the end of the session. I shall not reveal who the chef is until the end.

Michel Rolland dont do much white wines, but the Chateau La Grande Clotte Blanc would be amongst its premium line and exclusive whites that goes very well with the starter.
It is very fruity and the I can taste a hint of citrus from it. The after taste is slightly sour where it brings out the appetite for the next dish.
