Here’s what you need to know and do if you want to join.

What we’re having:

1. Zonin Prosecco (77 AED) Alternative bottle: Any Prosecco

2. Castello di Albola Chianti Classico Riserva  (approx 171 AED) Alternative bottle: Any Chianti

We’ll be pairing to some treats from Truffle House. We’ll be snacking on Truffle chips and nuts, pouring a little truffle honey on a cheese board, using some parmesan and white truffle cream in pasta, making a Caprese salad with the truffle pesto and the balsamic glaze, and we’ll be putting a little truffle mustard on steak. Hungry yet? 

All the grapes have been sourced from MMI in Dubai and Spinneys in Abu Dhabi, who are offering a 10% discount off bubbles, grapes & spirits when you show this email in-store. However, if you’re already well-stocked, just grab a similar bottle (suggestions below), such as the same grape variety, and join in!
