Jeroboam, Methuselah, Salmanzar, Balthazar, Nebuchadnezzar, Solomon and… wait. What is this story about?
If you guessed “Biblical Kings,” you’re ready for your spot on Jeopardy.
However, those same kings are also the names assigned to large format wine bottles, which just so happen to be what Makena Beach and Golf Resort will be exploring this Thursday, October 2.
Master Sommelier Patrick Okubo returns to host the resort’s October edition of the food and wine education series.
For the event, the resort notes that “Okubo will provide his expertise on the attraction of large format bottle wines, and the pairings provided while Chef De Cuisine Kurt Lesmerises delivers a live cooking demonstration of one of the dishes.”
Of the inspiration for the event, Food & Beverage Director Leo Mallari noted, “Large format wine bottles offer a lower oxygen-to-wine ratio, allowing the wine to age slower and exhibit better maturation…plus it is a table-side pleaser where bottle-size and its softer taste provides a wow factor.”
