Your cellarmaster is proud to present to you this specially arranged event for Pinot lovers. Pinot Fantasy - basically, is a chance for members to taste the very rare collection of old and new world pinots that we have in our cellar and to judge their aging potential. Also, the members get to contrast them with a grand cru burgundy - the Clos Vougeot and decide for yourselves which you like better.

These fantastic wines will be paired with equally delicious food that is specially prepared by the Chiara – which stands where the former Reif + James restaurant was at The Pier – helmed by a pair of Austrian chefs but Italian-themed. The restaurant is named after Esmirada owner Wolfgang Lapper’s daughter, befittingly in part because it’s the newest baby in this group that runs the successful Brasserie Wolf just a few doors away and the popular Esmirada Mediterranean restaurant over at Orchard Road. If you’ve been to Reif + James before, there’ll be that sense of familiarity since the decor – down to the drum shaped lamps – has largely been retained. It has been jazzed up, though, with fancy accents like a crystal chandelier aka disco ball at the entrance. Taking its cue perhaps from the decor, twin chefs Michael and Manuel Gruber present their dishes in quite a formal, fine-dining style – so don’t expect Chiara to be a homey Italian place. The chefs might use Italian elements in their cooking, but the cooking is very much modern European.

So, don’t miss this wonderful chance to savour the best of Italian cuisine that is paired with great pinots, both from the new and old worlds, which is bound to titillate each and every of your senses. The Society thus proudly ….
