On saturday night the Palazzo Hotel at Monte Casino held a shiraz wine dinner. We drank shiraz right the way through each course, even with the dessert and the pairing were fantastic. The food was simple yet elegant and every plate was hot and tasty.
The dessert was exeptionally interesting as nothing on the dish was actually sweet except the strawberry ice cream but that had a roasted spiced red pepper dust over and yet the whole dish with the wine worked so well.
You should all go the the southern sun wine pairing dinners, they are exceptionally informative from certified sommelier Miguel Chan, you can see when and where they are on the southern sun website.
