Format of YATS Wine Tasting

YATS Wine Cellars regularly hold non-commercial wine tasting to help wine enthusiasts expand their knowledge of wine in a most enjoyable and affordable way.  These tastings are different from other commercial tastings.  The wines from these tastings are not sponsored by a wine merchant and there are no salesmen.  You are in the company of people from all ages and all walks with one common interest – wine.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at a discount.  Each ticket comes with five tasting stubs.   The wines are lined up at a wine service station.  Present a ticket at this station to surrender a stub to redeem a tasting pour (roughly 50ml) of a wine of your choice.

Someone will always be available to answer questions or discuss topics pertinent to the theme of the wines in the event.  Otherwise the event is a self-paced tasting exercise that is the most economical way to sample expensive and rare wines.

 

Theme of this event

This is a long-awaited comparative tasting of the most popular and arguably the greatest red-wine grape Cabernet Sauvignon. 

 

About the Wines

The lineup is usually quite large so participants have to pick and choose the wines to taste.  There are enough bottles to accommodate all the tickets sold.  Bottles are not replenished after they have been consumed.   Pouring size is around 50-55ml.

 

About the Dinner

The buffet menu is carefully designed by Chef Jacqueline Tan who paid special attention to fine-tuning the recipe to allow the food to interact well with the kind of wines in the tasting.
