Sommelier Showdown - Round 2

Celebrate the art of food & wine pairing, through the lens of some of the industries finest wine professionals.

Across three evenings, leading sommeliers take the floor at Le Bon Nosh for a spirited pairing competition centered around a four-course dinner from Founder and Executive Chef Forough Vakili.

Each sommelier will present their chosen wine alongside every course, making the case for why their selection belongs at the table. Guests will taste both wines and vote to determine the winning pairing of the course. By the end of the evening, one sommelier advances.

The winners from the first two dinners return for a final showdown on July 14, where the ultimate champion will be crowned.

The Experience

The evening begins at 6 PM with a reception and canapés. Dinner begins at 6:30 PM, with Chef Forough introducing each course alongside the competing sommeliers. Throughout the meal, guests will taste a total of nine wines paired across the four courses.

Voting takes place live during dinner using your smartphone. After each course, results are revealed and the leading sommelier moves one step closer to victory.
