WINE&DINE - November 2017

この問題で

It’s Happy Hour! This issue, we pay tribute to a thriving drinks scene in Singapore, one that sees as many as 13 bars making it to this year’s Asia’s 50 Best Bars List, notably more than Hong Kong or Tokyo. Plus it’s that time of year when we’re reminded left right and centre that year-end festivities are near. We help you gear up to be in good spirits with the same.

First up, the art of ageing cocktails, and a distilled tour of bitters, whisky and that notorious green fairy, absinthe. Then it's a short note on Atlas’ new Juniper society, followed by five easy-to-whip-up cocktail recipes by Vijay Mudaliar of Native bar.

In our regular lineup, we have Trending – Tea-tillating Roasts; a QnA with chef Joseph Yeo, SPRMRKT in Chef du Jour; the latest foodie produce, home and kitchen products to covet in To Market and Home & Kitchen; in Restaurants, new openings and menus to sink your teeth into such as Blackwattle and Raccine; a winemaker interview with Enrique Tirado, Don Melchor; an ode to Romagna’s Sangiovese; and in Travel, a discovery of Portugal’s culinary delights.

WINE&DINE Magazine Description:

THE LIVING LEGACY

Wine & Dine’s credible editorial has been the cornerstone of making the publication the definitive magazine for gourmands for the past 32 years.

In its latest reiteration, the magazine is a bi-monthly amalgamation of well-researched, long-form articles on food culture and how what we eat continues to shape the world we know.

Each issue takes on a universal theme that is a reflection of the current climate of the F&B industry and beyond, and includes interviews with the chefs and vintners you should be keeping an eye out for.

It's published alongside the magazine's website—www.wnd.sg—where you'll find the latest news from the region and abroad.

Being a gourmand means we appreciate good food no matter where it comes from; expect to see Michelin-starred restaurants of international acclaim featured alongside veterans of traditional food and a new generation of chefs dabbling in experimental, genre-defying cuisine.
