A year of food and wine pairings with Reuben Riffel

Sommelier Luvo Ntezo and celebrity chef, Reuben Riffel, plan a series of fabulous evenings of food and wine at One & Only, Cape Town.

The One&Only Cape Town has plenty of treats in store for gourmands and wine-lovers alike in 2012. Award-winning sommelier, Luvo Ntezo, has worked with chef Reuben Riffel and some of the top winemakers in South Africa to present the finest food and wine pairings in town.

The evenings are small and intimate (only 30 places available at each one), giving guests plenty of opportunity to chat with Luvo and the winemaker as they enjoy the food and wine. “I like Reuben’s approach to food and his combining of South African and international flavours ‚ this works very well with our wine collection which is based on the same principles”, explains Luvo who says “I tell my team that we are the hosts at a dinner where our aim is to ensure our guests never forget the combined wine and food experience”.

Each dinner is priced at R325 offering a high quality and excellent value evening out. Whether you are a wine ‚fundi’, or simply enjoy a convivial evening of good food, wine and company, these dinners offer something for everybody. As Luvo says “there are no golden or unbreakable rules with wine in my opinion, and we want to encourage people to explore their own taste preferences. If we can show them something new to enjoy along the way, we’ve done a good job”.
