This year’s Wine Maker’s Dinner was dedicated to ecological food and wine – in perfect harmony. In cooperation with Grand Hotel and Torres & Partners, AmCham invited members to an exclusive, intimate dinner and wine tasting at the hidden pearl that is Restaurant Julius Fritzner. Upon arrival, guests were served an unoaked Acero Chardonnay 2007 and were greeted by Torres & Partners’ Brand Manager Christian Almstrøm before viewing a vivid video introduction of beautiful Marimar Estate in Russian River Valley, California.

Consisting of Norwegian regional specialties, the five course meal was specially created by American Head Chef Patrick O’Toole to perfectly complement the wines. Before each course the wines were presented by Torres’ Brand Ambassador Anna Manchon. Guests, including Ambassador White and wife Eleanor, sampled several different wines and vintages. Some of the showcased wine varieties were flown in exclusively for the dinner while others are available at Vinmonopolet. The combination of good food, wines and company made for yet another triumphant evening.
