Kingsriver Estate Invites you
to an evening of wine, wisdom & a whole lot of fun with
Katinka van niekerk
the doyenne of food & wine pairings
SATURDAY 30th MAY 09
Did you know
a Pinotage is a "fishnet-stockinged slut"
or that
a Sauvignon Blanc is "always on the edge of a nervous breakdown"?
Katinka Van Niekerk, who has been teaching at the Cape Wine Academy since 1997
and training chefs, wine retailers and exporters/importers in wine and food pairing,
has lectured in Germany and presented South African wines in France,
for the Slow Food International organisation.
She knocks the stuffiness out of wine and food pairing
and shows that to enjoy both to maximum effect, you don’t have to necessarily follow
boring old rules to achieve an ideal balance between wine and food.
Learn the five taste sensations (sweetness, acidity, saltiness, bitterness and umami)
that change the taste of a wine and create combinations that work.
Entertaining and educational,
You can''t call it madness because it works like magic.
- Time: 19h00
