Corporate Bits | Chateau Mont-Redon wine pairing dinner at Copa Steakhouse

Sands Macao will bring the tastes of the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape region to Macau when the Chateau Mont-Redon wine estate and Copa Steakhouse host a wine paring dinner on Wednesday Dec. 2 with a reception at 7 p.m. and dinner starting at 8 p.m.
The dinner will give wine lovers a chance to experience wines that are not normally available in Macau. Two of the wines available at the wine paring dinner are Chateau Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1990, which will be paired with mature French cheeses to match the robustness of the wine, and a Vieux Marc de Provence. The Chateau Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1991 will be served with grilled rib-eye and taro stuffed piquillo peppers, chanterelle mushrooms and natural jus.
The Chateau Mont-Redon wine pairing dinner will see six courses served alongside perfectly matched wines, putting the spotlight on the region and the estate.
With a history that stretches back to 1344, Chateau Mont-Redon is currently in the hands of the Abeille and Fabre families who have continued the traditions of the estate and maintained the high standards that have been a hallmark of both the estate and the region.
