Put Your Wine Knowledge to the Test at Grand Hyatt's Interactive Dinner Series

(SPOT.ph) So you're coming to terms with the fact that you're now, in fact, an adult. This phase of your life has its cons for sure, but also pros. Like the fact that it's now totally acceptable—expected, even—of you to drink, and get to know more about, wine. The alcoholic beverage's appeal is multifold; it's bound to get you turnt, for one, which is always a fantastic way to forget about your problems. But we digress. Wine is one of those alcoholic beverage's with a fascinating background and diversity in terms of variants, appellations, and aromas and flavor profiles. Here's one way you can drink, test your knowledge, and dig into great-tasting plates while you're at it: mark your calendars for Le Grand Casino du Vin at The Cellar, an upcoming series of sip-play-dine events coming to Grand Hyatt Manila starting February!

Wine lovers, mark your calendars for these upcoming dine-drink-play events at Grand Hyatt Manila:

Le Grand Casino du Vin (that's French for "the grand casino of wines") is an interactive, twice-a-month event that'll be taking place on every first and third Wednesday of the month this February 2023 and onwards, from 5 to 11 p.m. You'll be given poker chips that you can use to play at their three stations, each with its own little game that'll test how much you know about wine.

There's The Type of Wine, a guessing game where you'll be poured mystery wines into an opaque black cup—and you're to sip, swirl, and taste to guess the wine's color. Over at The Aromas of Wine booth, the staff lets you sniff mystery scent vials that you'll have to identify from a giant board of popular wine aromas. Last but not the least is The Wine Regions, where you're to guess whether a mystery wine is of the Old or New World sort, as well as the wine region it hails from. Each station can be visited five times, and you win more chips if you get the answers right! Gather as many chips as you can as you can use those to participate in a special auction at the end of the night, where you can win special prizes.

Great as wine is in itself, it's even better with food. Grand Hyatt rightfully includes a four-course dinner that you can partake in between rounds. Included in the lineup is an appetizer of Double-Baked Meredith Goat Cheese Soufflé; a small plate of Pumpkin & Ricotta Tortellini with crispy pork belly as a transition piece; your choice between the Grilled Beef Tenderloin and the Pan-Seared Sea Bass as your main; and a rightfully bright Frozen Lemon Parfait for dessert. And, yup, a glass of red or white wine is included.

Your best bet, of course, is to attend Le Grand Casino du Vin with friends or fellow wine enthusiasts in tow. Rates go for P3,000 net per person, and you can reserve your slots by giving Grand Hyatt Manila a call at 8838-1234 or sending an email to manila.grand@hyatt.com.
