Wine & Drinks

Where to drink this month

Looking for a place to hang out after work? We highlight two Japanese bars to visit this month—KUMO Sake & Whisky bar and The Horse’s Mouth.

Traditional tastes

If you are taking bar legend Charles Schumann out for drinks in town, pick the quiet joints. Watering holes with deejays annoy him.

Legally delicious vinos

A winemaker by day (and weekends) and a criminal judge by night, George Shinas, shares how the cheeky names behind his wines came about and why drought can be a good thing for his vines.

Suburbia’s winemaker series with Gianluca Battaglio

Join third generation Italian winemaker Gianluca Battaglio as he pairs his wines for a very special dinner at Suburbia this weekend. The menu features classic Italian dishes from the Piedmont region and will highlight selections from the oenologist himself.

Two Chinese New Year buffets

Two Chinese New Year buffets: Saltwater Café at the Changi Village Hotel and Zaffron at the Oasia Hotel Singapore.

Raising the bar

If you recognise the name Vasco Rossi, then you know your international rock and roll stars. Rossi is Italy’s answer to Bon Jovi. Named after the Italian singer-songwriter, Sydney’s latest watering hole, Vasco, isn’t a singular tribute to this rock star but more of a general homage to the who’s who in the rock and roll pantheon.

Been there, done that

How does a chef who’s done it all—earned three Michelin stars, conferred The Legion of Honor, and awarded an honorary craftsmen title—define his greatest career moment? We ask Eric Frechon.

Event of the month: Epicurean Market

Sure, a number of food fairs and gourmet festivals are beginning to take over our social calendar. But what’s not to love about a gathering of purveyors and restaurants at Marina Bay Sands’ inaugural Epicurean Market?
