Galerie Du Vin @ Glomac Damansara, KL

Last week I was invited to a wine tasting event along with several bloggers by Galerie Du Vin at Glomac Damansara (opposite Tropicana City Mall). The invitation promises a pleasant night of delightful food with splendid wine selections to match and I really had a great night.

As this is a wine pairing event, the focus is not just on the food but also on wines. I really do not have much knowledge about wine but that night, I managed to learn how to combine certain foods with certain wines. It was interesting and there’s a lot more for me to learn about wine.

We started off with Salad Maison to go with Rumours Chardonnay 2011. The salad is loaded with cherry tomatoes and arugula in orange dressing. The Rumours Chardonnay was light and fresh with a fruity flavour.

The pumpkin soup is rich and creamy with a silky texture. The Montes Alpha Chardonnay is soft and fresh in mouth, providing a sweet pleasant finish. This Alpha Chardonnay smell of tropical fruits such as banana and pineapple, which integrate beautifully with vanilla notes. Rich and fruity Chardonnays like this are perfect pairing for poultry in creamy sauces.

There were two choices for main dish : sea bass in butter sauce or grilled tenderloin steak. I chose sea bass in butter sauce.

This is a simple yet very delicious dish. The butter sauce blends very well with this light and flaky fish. Penley Estate Over The Moon was the wine chosen to go with sea bass in butter sauce. Penley Estate Over The Moon is red to pink in colour with fragrant fruit flavours. It is crisp and refreshing, with nicely taut acid on the finish.

Dessert was Panna Cotta, a smooth and creamy Italian pudding served with raspberry sauce. Sweet Lips Moscato and Montes Late Harvest both served as dessert wine and compliment the Panna Cotta very nicely.

However, I personally prefer Montes Late Harvest as the taste is creamy and full-bodied, with a lovely sugar/acid balance. A sweet ending to a wonderful evening!

Verdict: Galerie Du Vin is a new hidden gem for wine lovers. This place is very welcoming and comfortable. You can also buy wine here and the prices are reasonable.

This blog is a platform to share what I love in life: food (eat), travel (play), photography (art) and life (thoughts and ideas). With passion for food, I share my foodie adventures and indulgences here. “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”

Traveling makes us a better human being as we recognise the similarities and celebrate the differences of cultures between where we travel to and where we come from. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Photography do more than just capturing the best moments in our lives; they also help us tell our life stories. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
