Friday Delight: A Boutique Italian Wine Experience Wine Dinner

Diplomat Bar, Conrad Bangkok

On the delightful Friday evening of November 17th, I had the pleasure of attending a Wine Dinner at the CONRAD BANGKOK HOTEL. The event, aptly titled "A BOUTIQUE ITALIAN WINE EXPERIENCE," was held at the DIPLOMAT BAR.

Tonight's WINE DINNER is actually more of a wine tasting event, featuring a selection of exquisite Italian wines that are not commercially available.

Seven varieties are available for tasting outside.

If you really drink it, you won't make it to the 7th glass (lol).

DIPLOMAT BAR

Enter the DIPLOMAT BAR on the right-hand side.

Dim lighting creates a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for enjoying drinks, conversation, and pleasant music.

At 9:30 PM, there will be singers performing beautiful songs for your enjoyment.

Caramel-coated and chocolate-coated popcorn are available for snacking. If you like it, you can buy it to take home.

Wine pairings

Smoked Duck with Pickled Beetroot and Shallot Jam

Smoked duck with shallot jam: tender duck meat paired with a sweet and tangy jam, an unexpected but delightful combination.

Crab Meat, Avocado with Passion Fruit Jam and Pomegranate Seeds

Crab meat with avocado sauce and salmon roe. The crab meat is sweet and salty, with a richness from the salmon roe and avocado sauce.

Sesame-Crusted Salmon Loin with Cucumber, Tobiko, and Mustard Miso

Grilled salmon with miso mustard sauce. The salmon is fresh and sweet, with a hint of saltiness from the miso sauce.

Seared Lamb Carpaccio with Parmesan Cheese

Grilled lamb with Parmesan cheese. The lamb is grilled to medium-rare, resulting in tender meat. It is drizzled with a tangy sauce.

A small amount of Parmesan cheese was added to enhance the flavor. The sheep ate it with gusto, finding it delicious and without any unpleasant odor.

Macaron salé garni de pastrami de bœuf et de concombre mariné

Macaron with grilled beef tenderloin filling

This dish is a no-go for me, as I don't eat beef.

Tomato Jam

Grain Mustard & Gherkin

Ham and salami

Green and black olives are also available.

We've had a lot of protein, so it's time for some carbohydrates. This corner has a variety of breads and cheeses. You must try the cheese here.

Aiming to try, how many types would you like?

Brie Fermier Cheese

Mild flavor, easy to eat.

Known as Blue Cheese, it has a distinctive pungent odor, a salty and creamy taste, and is delicious when eaten with cornbread.

Old French Mimolete Cheese

Sweet, salty, savory, and easy to eat.

JUMPING FOURME

The yellow bread is cornbread, which is delicious when eaten with cheese.

Smoked Chicken, Orange, and Berries in Tortilla Rolls

This dish features smoked chicken, oranges, and berries rolled in tortillas.

Smoked chicken roll: Thinly sliced smoked chicken rolled with a tangy citrus and berry filling.

Tiger Prawn Skewers with Mango and Strawberry Salsa

Can this be called a shrimp cocktail?! Freshly boiled shrimp served with diced mango and strawberries.

Drizzled with salsa, the succulent shrimp and the sweet and sour fruit complement each other perfectly.

After filling our stomachs with heavy appetizers, we moved on to the serious business of wine tasting.

Glass 1. TRAPPOLINI "GLERA BRUT" VENETO, IGT is a sparkling wine with a fragrant, sweet, and bubbly taste.

The second glass, **TRAPPOLINI "SARTEI BIANCO" LAZIO, IGT**, is a white wine with a pale yellow color.

Sweet and sour, fragrant

The third glass, ARRIGONI "CARMAN" CHARDONNAY, IGT, is a white wine with a sweet aroma.

Sweeter and slightly tart, with a more intense flavor than the "SARTEI BIANCO".

The fourth glass, ARRIGONI "NABUCCO" CHIANTI COLLI SENSI, DOCG, is a red wine with an aromatic berry-like scent and a sweet and sour taste in the mouth.

The fifth glass, **TRAPPOLINI "SARTEI ROSS" LAZIO, IGT**, is a red wine with a sweet finish.

The sweetest aroma among the 7 I tried today, before the sweetness hits the throat.

The sixth glass, TRAPPOLINI "PATERNO" LAZIO, IGT, is a red wine with an aromatic nose and a sweet and tart flavor.

The initial taste is astringent, followed by sweetness that lingers in the mouth. The astringency is stronger than in cups 4 and 5.

The seventh glass, TRAPPOLINI "IDEA" LAZIO, IGT, is a chilled red wine with a sweet flavor.

It has a strange taste, similar to some kind of fruit juice, but I can't quite place it.

This is just our personal opinion as non-wine connoisseurs who enjoy trying new things. If you're interested in giving it a try, head over to DIPLOMAT BAR.

Personally, I prefer the 6th glass, TRAPPOLINI "PATERNO" LAZIO, IGT.
