DimSomm! Somm Zoom Wine & Dim Sum Fun

DimSomm? Four styles of wine to go with the best of Dim Sum
presented by Vancouver's top Sommelier - Robert Stelmachuk.
Tickets are $39 and on sale here for April 13th at 7:30 pm on Zoom.

What is Dim Sum?

Is there a better long lunch than DimSum? Influenced by "nouvelle cuisine"  in the 70s, trends in Hong Kong quickly crossed the Pacific arriving in Vancouver. Succulent petite portions of super fresh prawn, scallop, and pork dumplings in a variety of shapes and sizes with fillings that could transport you places that you'd never been. Flavours that you'd never tasted before exploded onto your palate and all you wanted was more texture, flavour and slurpy goodness. Then there were sauces - smooth spicy red chili, yellow mustard, oily hot chili flakes, salty soy, sweet umami hoisin and sweet vinaigrette that could shift sweet succulent Sui Mai into a fiery salty mouthfilling explosions.  Pass me a glass of water, green tea or Coca-cola.

Now add Robert Stelmachuk and voila -  mind blowing! It's DimSomm - four styles of wine paired with the main styles of Dim Sum and the celebration just moved to a whole new level. Who would have thought? Yet imagine champange with Har Gow? Pinot Noir with steam rice in tea leaf with minced meat? But don't listen to me - find out what Robert recommends.
