Throughout the last couple of years, I've been quite bored with wine pairings in top restaurants. While the food is almost always impeccable, the wine pairing has often been way less ambitious and based on the most recent vintages from a given importer. That said, I have been seeing a positive change lately, with @restaurant_the_samuel being one of the best examples. @jkb_the_samuel is one of the most knowledgeable chefs when it comes to wine and together with his team, he has gone off the beaten track in order to offer something unique. Only one(!) wine on the pairing is from this century - the rest are much older. If you are a wine lover, a visit at The Samuel is a must! Less
