One of the biggest and best wine dinners of the year takes place on Friday 17th June at the Westin Casuarina. Westin staff, in conjunction with wine importers Jacques Scott and wine distributer Aaron Jay, (pictured left on the right of the picture with Jacques Scott’s Sergio Serrano at one such dinner) bring you their annual Tre Bicchiere dinner, a celebration of some of Italy’s finest wines and the Westin’s most creative cuisine to match. See below for a tempting display of the splendid dishes to arrive at my table during previous wine dinners.
Tre Bicchiere means “three glasses” in Italian and it is the top award given to Italy’s finest wines, much like a 100-pointer from Wine Spectator. The Westin holds a series of fine wine dinners throughout the season, always culminating in this big shebang in June, highlighting only Tre Bicchiere awarded wines. Having attended and written about a good many of these wine dinners over the years I can tell you categorically that you will be in for a treat with this one. I have had a sneak peak at this month’s dinner menu and there are six courses of scrumptious Italian fare, including caramelised fig & brie as an appetiser, tagliatelle with porcini mushroom & rabbit confit as a pasta course and beef Rossini served with brioche, foie gras and truffle as a main. The Westin’s hard working staff, both on the floor and in the kitchen (pictured below), always make it a night to remember.
Of course, Aaron (left) & Jacques Scott will be bringing diners the best of the best when it comes to wine pairings. The lovely Feudi di San Gregorio Pietracalda will be poured with a shrimp Napolitano. Made from 100% Fiano grapes, this wine oozes class and refinement, with a peachy nose and citrus flavour.
A Marchese di Villamarina single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the Sella & Mosca estate will grace diners’ glasses for the tagliatelle course, a really special wine that manages to be intense and mellow at the same time. A classic Cab with all the intricate tannins, black currant and woody notes that you would expect.
Bringing out the even bigger guns for the beef course, Aaron & Jacques Scott will be showcasing their beloved Bertani Amarone from 2003. Hear Aaron wax lyrical about this and all the other award winning wines as he regales diners with his tales of travels around Italy’s finest wineries.
