As part of Tassili’s yearlong wine dinner series, connoisseurs will be discussing whether Sauvignon Blanc and asparagus are the dream partnership.

Grand Jersey will be asking if these two are a match made in heaven at an evening of food and fine wine, held on Thursday 31st May. The wines will be accompanied by a bespoke six-course menu, which has been developed by executive head chef of Tassili, Richard Allen.

Throughout 2012, Tassili at Grand Jersey is hosting its most comprehensive series of wine dinners to date. Gastronomes will be treated to a diverse range of wines presented over the course of 11 events, eight of which remain, each evening focusing specifically on a region or type of wine.

‘The wine dinners are our favourite events of the year,’ said Eamonn Elliott, general manager at Grand Jersey. ‘We held a series of wine dinners last year and they all stimulated great debates, from both experienced and inexperienced wine connoisseurs. This year the dinners will showcase completely different wines, and will be posing questions that task even the most experienced sommeliers – what wine best accompanies truffles? Are Sauvignon Blanc and asparagus a match made in heaven? We are looking forward to hearing what the diners think!’

The evening is priced at £85 per person, which includes wines and dinner. For more information or to book, please contact Grand Jersey’s reception team on 01534 722301 or email reception@grandjersey.com.
