A Premier Global Assembly

In 1976, the world map of wine was redrawn in a surprising and significant way, beginning with the major incident later known as the "Judgement of Paris". The notion that "wine = Europe" is no longer valid due to advancements in winemaking technology and climatic changes in places outside of Europe. The wines in "A Premier Global Assembly" were meticulously chosen by our team of sommeliers from the best winemakers in the world. The wines will be paired with bold yet delicately authentic Cantonese cuisine from Sense, one of the hotel's main dining rooms, for a journey around the world.
