For one night only, Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok and the Tedeschi Winery of Italy present a matching of superb Verona wines and Northeast Italian cuisine.

Tedeschi is one of the names rooted in the wine history of the Veneto region, with archive documents dating the first vineyards back to 1630.

Today, the winery is run by Renzo Tedeschi together with his children Antonietta, Sabrina and Riccardo. Sabrina herself will host the evening at Biscotti, with a five-course dinner created by Biscotti chef Danilo Aiassa.

The evening begins with a Soave Classico DOC 2009 served with canapés, followed by a Soave Capitel Tenda 2009 to accompany pan-fried Hokkaido scallops and celery root soup.

Quail breast with black truffle and poached egg is accompanied by a Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Capitel San Rocco 2008, and risotto with mashed pumpkin is served with a Valpolicella Classico Superiore La Fabriseria 2006.

I found the Alicanto Sauvignon Blanc 2007 from Chile 460 THB, San Jose de Apalta Chardonnay 2007 460 THB, Terralis Chardonnay – Torrontes 2007 445 THB, and Terralis Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 460 THB (all prices retail) both from Argentina were very good considering their price. An Esser Zinfandel from

California was interesting but not exactly the style I prefer; Zinfandel comes in all weights from very light to almost Port-like and everything in between. They presented a couple of Pinot Noirs from California one from Camus – Belle Glos “Clask & Telephone” Pinot Noir 2006 from Camus and another Pinot Noir 2006 from Sabastiani, both of them were a little bit heavy for my taste, but bound to do well in the Thai marketplace where body is essential for good sales. They had a good turnout as the room was packed, the hors d’ouvres prepared by the hotel were as usual, very good and it was a fine showing of a wide range of wines at various price points, some were excellent value for money.

What better restaurant to celebrate Easter Sunday lunch than the lovely dining room of Biscotti Restaurant located in the Four Seasons Hotel, which in my opinion, is the most tastefully decorated hotel in the city, and if that were not enough they provide excellent service staff to go with it and in the most easily accessible location in this city. It is a duplicate of the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon, and in fact the Peninsula Group built it but experienced various problems that required them to sell. It was bought by the Regent Hotel Group that was subsequently merged into the Four Seasons Hotels chain. The ceiling in the lobby is magnificent and was painted by an Italian artist who died before finishing it, although I believe, his daughter completed it.
I ordered a magnificent Spring lamb, so fitting for Easter and what an excellent dish Chef Danilo constructed. Succulent lamb set on a bed of semi-bitter greens sprinkled with almonds, pine nuts, white beans and a sauce made from a reduction of lamb and almond essence, which was magical.
Other noteworthy dishes to try are: Cavatelli with porcini mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and basil and Trofie with tomato couli, Yellow Tail and green beans. More Photos
