Battle of the Bermuda Wine Merchants is On!
We are delighted to invite you to join us for the highly anticipated "Battle of the Wine Merchants" on Saturday, March 9th at Bolero Brasserie. Prepare to indulge in an evening of Chef Jonny’s culinary excellence as our local wine merchants - Gosling’s, Discovery/Burrows, and Pitt & Co - showcase their pairing prowess.
Each course will be expertly matched with a selection of wines from these esteemed merchants. As connoisseurs, we will each cast our votes for the wine that best complements each course. The winning wine merchant will claim the illustrious crystal decanter trophy. Last year, Discovery/Burrows emerged victorious. The question remains: Who will reign supreme this year?
