South Australian Wine Tasting and Dinner

(7/12/2004)

Five premium signature wines presented by Geoff Merrill and Terry Beckman from South Australia's Beckman Estates will form the centerpiece of a pre-dinner wine tasting followed by a special four-course dinner at Bali's The Legian.

Limited seating is available for the event on Friday, July 16, 2004, that will cost Rp. 400,000 (approximately US$ 44.50), which covers tasting, dinner, wines, and government tax and service.

Introducing Chef Nam Nguyen

The evening will also permit The Legian the opportunity to showcase their talented Executive Chef, Nam Nguyen. Born in Vietnam and raised in Denmark, he first ventured into the kitchen during an assignment as an UN Peacekeeper serving in the Danish Army in Yugoslavia. Culinary school followed by assignments at the Grand Hotel and Le Canard in Oslo, Singapore's Lighthouse Restaurant, London's The Howard, and New York's Aquavit have earned this young chef rave reviews and his current position in charge of The Legian's kitchen.
