Canadian Sommelier Emilie Steckenborn will travel to Tianjin to present an exclusive one-night-only Treasury Wine Estates Dinner overlooking the river at Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin. The 5-course menu created by the hotel’s French Executive Chef Yvan Collet will be paired with tantalising New World wines introduced by Steckenborn.

Gourmands will have the chance to experience five exceptional red and white wines from Australia and California. A starter of Seasalt-baked foie gras with plum marmalade and fig puree enhances the cherry and plum flavours of Lindeman's Henry's Sons Shiraz Cabernet. The Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon’s deep, dark fruit flavours enriched by oak spices makes an indulgent accompaniment for earthy Truffle crusted lamb loin, celeriac puree and lotus chips. For dessert, the poised Penfolds St Henri Shiraz Cabernet with its delicate tannins and hints of mocha and praline is an inspired pairing for Poached pear in red wine with nougat and meringue.
