Benguela on Main, situated in Somerset West, invites you to join them for a five-course Battle of the Sommeliers dinner at 7pm on Friday, 3 June.
Benguela on Main’s Master Sommelier Denis Garret will battle it out against his two apprentices, Ndosi Gumede and Jack Black to pair the perfect wine with Executive Chef Jean Delport’s sensational surprize menu.
Master Sommelier Denis Garret, fondly known as the mad Frenchman on a motorbike, is quite the character and his passion for wine is clear as he excitedly conveys his knowledge. Denis is highly trained and is a member of Association des Sommeliers Parislle-de-France, the oldest sommelier association in the world as well as a member of Bureau National Interproffesionnel du Cognac, an interprofessional association for the preservation and promotion of Cognac.
The event promises to be a gourmand’s delight as guests at this exclusive event will have the opportunity to choose a set of fine wines presented by each of the sommeliers to accompany their five courses of crafted fine dining cuisine.
Executive Chef Jean’s mystery dishes will all be designed around the five flavour profiles of salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami. Chef Jean’s training in classical French and English cooking has given him the confidence to become an innovator in the kitchen. Jean trained at Zevenwacht Chef School, where he was awarded both the Patissier Award in 2007 and Best Overall Student Award in his second year in 2008. He has worked at top South African eateries like Rust en Vrede, Terroir, Cassia, Equus Dine at Cavalli, and Kileen House Hotel in Ireland.
