The natural sweetness of the tomatoes emerged and then intensified with subsequent sips. The salinity of the fresh molluscs and the tartness of the apple slaw were made even more delightful with the pinot grigio, with its luscious golden delicious apple and citrus notes. The gazpacho was bright, fresh and flavourful - the addition of chopped scallions atop added much-needed minerality to balance the tomato-based soup. The antipasti (starter) course - gazpacho shots and seared scallops with tart apple slaw - was paired with Pinot Grigio. The finish is slightly sweet, crisp and dry, making the perfect drink to begin the evening. The “lively bubbles” of the Prosecco Superiore Di Valdobbiadene dance across the tongue, imprinting flavours of ripe pineapples, peaches, and apples on the palate. Select Brands Luxury Portfolio Manager Debra Taylor-Smith chose prosecco, Pinot Grigio, sparkling rosé and Sangiovese to accompany the meal prepared by host restaurant Uncorked Too. It succeeded in reminding those present what it felt like to dress up, go out and eat well, pre-COVID. The event, casually dubbed “Sip with Select”, was a five-course, wine-paired meal. But for a few Select Brands guests, Tuesday, November 23, allowed them to travel to Italy through glasses of Santa Margherita wines. Santa Margherita's sparkling rosé lives up to its tasting notes, which describe it as “lively”.įor others, it was a regular Tuesday evening.
