An explosion of mid calendar week in addition to weekend vino tasting events is taking identify inwards KL in addition to I am in addition to thus happy to partake inwards this evolution of vino enjoyment. Not only eating in addition to drinking, socialising, but also coming together in addition to learning from the vino makers themselves, is a delightful bonus for which I am genuinely grateful. Drift Dining in addition to Bar, i of our favourite Bukit Bintang eateries, recognised for a fresh approach to eating in addition to drinking, based on modern Australian Cuisine, is launching a monthly serial of events branded every bit ‘Uncorked’. Well, I’m already loving the name.
The identify is already buzzing when I arrive, slightly damp from the eventide rain. Mon nighters bask an later go relaxation inwards this great key location in addition to I weave through, glad to reckon Monica waving in addition to wielding a large drinking glass of wine. I bring together her in addition to every bit if past times magic, i is procured for me. Now that is what I telephone outcry upwards a great starting fourth dimension to a night. This soft medium bodied vino is the Stanley Estate Pinot Gris 2013 emitting delightful aromas of pear in addition to honey. On tasting, it is low-cal in addition to build clean amongst only a hint of acidity to cutting through the fossil oil of the tiny schoolhouse prawns nosotros are munching on. The slightly spicy complete is echoed inwards the Thak Nam Prik dipping sauce. It’s a really cute pairing from Chef Angus.

I’ve been a fan of Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough percentage for over twenty years now, in addition to I’m excited to withdraw heed that Stanley’s vino maker has come upwards through the ranks at Cloudy Bay in addition to Kim Crawford, 2 character producers of this marque. The Intrepid Sauvignon Blanc 2013 that nosotros gustation forthwith fills the nostrils amongst a delicious odor of elderflower in addition to gooseberries, amongst only an underlying hint of citrus in addition to light-green tomato. Obviously a great vino for fish, it nicely compliments the spoonfuls of Salmon Sashimi amongst Wasabi Mayonnaise that are existence offered around. It’s non surprising that it achieved a gilt medal at the Spiegelau Wine Awards inwards 2015. I’d give it a medal too.

Regular readers volition know how much I love Drift’s aubergine pate amongst Haloumi, in addition to thus I’m delighted to reckon it’s babe blood brother existence passed only about every bit a gustation tempter. Eggplant amongst relish, goats’ cheese in addition to tahini yogurt - who could enquire for more? Well, mayhap a drinking glass of scarlet to launder it down. I hateful that is what nosotros are hither for - right? New Zealand is less good known for scarlet wine, but Pinot Noir is i of the to a greater extent than successful varieties grown inwards the region. The Stanley Estate 2012 is a balanced, slightly oaky wine, amongst a fruit driven palate echoing plums, in addition to sugariness berry fruits - which tastes fifty-fifty amend later a mouthful of Chef Angus’s cherry tomatoes amongst balsamic in addition to olives.

We are surprised past times a soft brioche offering non on the menu, but who is to complain? We eagerly sink our teeth into crunchy fresh salad in addition to soft fronds of chicken amongst a melting homestyle mayonnaise. I foolishly identify my one-half finished i downwards every bit I expect only about for to a greater extent than wine, in addition to Caning chop-chop wolfs it up. No matter, every bit I’m existence offered a gustation of Truffle mushroom Arancini inwards its place. Monica loves these large crisp balls amongst their soft warm centre.

Our lastly tipple of the eventide is the Stanley Estate Merlot 2013, a beautifully fruit driven wine, amongst dark plum in addition to liquorice notes. Very silky amongst a lingering later feel of soft berry fruits, the shine gustation derives from the maturation procedure inwards oak barrels. This could conduct keep been my favourite of the eventide were it non for that delightful Sauvignon Blanc, which for certain pipped it to the post. I conduct keep a lastly mouthful of delicious jamon Serrano amongst melon in addition to a balsamic glaze, in addition to it is fourth dimension for me to leave. It is exclusively Mon later all!
