For Asian cuisine, wine pairing is still a new and relatively unexplored topic. Do the traditional WSET rules apply, or should we rip up the rule book and start afresh?

Richard Hemming spent two years trying to answer those questions, resulting in his new book, 'Wine & The Food of Asia', which takes an original look at matching classic Asian dishes with fine wine. He will be joined by a panel of local talent comprising chefs, sommeliers and experts that will discuss their approaches to pairing diverse cuisines from across Asia with all sorts of delicious drinks.

This discussion will be invaluable for anyone working in F&B across the region, as well as for wine producers keen to learn about maximising their relevance in the Asian marketplace.
