Perfect Pairing at BBC: A Gastronomous Affair!

Perfect Pairing at BBC - A Gastronomic Affair! (February 8 2010)

Cape Ardor paired four award winning wines with a sensational meal, provided by 2 talented Chefs from the British Bankers Club in Menlo Park on Thursday January 28. It was a wonderful evening thoroughly enjoyed by all, and left most patrons completely satiated.

Kudos to the creative chefs Tim and Paul for researching traditional South African Flavors (which included a treasure hunt for persimmons!)

All the wines showed exceptionally well and it was an awesome opportunity to educate all who attended about the quality wines
hailing from South Africa.
