A Sweet Encounter

A Sweet Encounter. The theme for Batch 11 Air Sommelier's Graduation. Held on the 28 of January this year. Having a total of 10 newly appointed sommeliers joining the family, crossing the century mark of 101 sommeliers in Singapore Airlines now.

The graduation ceremony had a presentation on sweet wines. Being a broad topic, we had decided to have a food and wine pairing. What better way to understand than tasting the pairing, the mariage of wine and food. Just name a few, Ice Riesling from Australia and Thai Mango Sticky Rice,  Tokaiji from Hungary and Foie Gras. With feedback from the guests, it was sensational!

Our Sommeliers have to get accredited by Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) up to the advance level. And attend a gruelling but very enjoyable 10 months course, with term tests and projects all thrown in. It was not an easy journey but definitely a fruitful one.

Heartiest Congratulations to all! Keep up the passion for wine. In Vino Veritas, In Aqua Sanitas.
