Luxury Hotel in Singapore Is Recognized by Wine Spectator for the Second Year in a Row

SINGAPORE--(Marketwire - Oct 19, 2011) - Following last year's record, three of Singapore Marriott's dining outlets have won the Award of Excellence by Spectator's Restaurant Wine List Awards Program again this year. This includes Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant, Crossroads Cafe and Pool Grill. The luxury hotel in Singapore, boasts a wine collection of 281 wines which are unified across all outlets.

"We constantly seek to keep our wine list broad, updated, and to bring value for money to our guests. It is thus an honour to be recognized by Wine Spectator again," says Antony Page, General Manager.

Award-winning Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant serves authentic Cantonese cuisine amidst a resplendent and elegant décor. Last month, guests had an opportunity to enjoy an exquisite 7-course dinner, carefully crafted and paired with exclusive Austrian wines at one of the finest Cantonese restaurants in Singapore. This unique black glass wine dinner offered diners a choice of two wines for each course of the meal, served for tasting in black glasses to avoid altering any perception by sight. Starting with Roast Peking Duck and Pan-fried Goose Liver, the dinner equally delighted both food and wine connoisseurs.

If you missed a chance to savour our premium Chinese restaurant in Singapore, fret not. There will be more wine pairing dinners in the upcoming months that are sure to entice. Look forward to an exclusive epicurean affair with De Bortoli Wines in October, savour one of Australia's finest wine pioneers -- Tyrrells Wines in November and indulge in the festive spirit with our Bollinger Special Champagne Dinner at the end of the year. Prices start from $128++ per person. Also, be one of the lucky winners to walk away with a bottle of Bollinger Coteaux Champenois La Côte aux Enfants 2002. Limited to only six bottles island-wide, this is a rare still red wine produced from grapes grown on the south-facing slope of the 100% Echelle vineyard, the Côte aux Enfants in Aÿ.

This 5 star Singapore hotel's passionate associates are trained to provide a memorable dining experience perfected by the right bottle. So remember to ask for the wine menu the next time you head down to Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant, Crossroads Cafe and Pool Grill.
