With his expertise in food and wine pairing, he is here to take beloved Taiwanese classics to the next level. With host Jeremy, Thomas pairs a pu-er tea-infused beef noodle soup with Chá Noire’s Houraisen Raw Pu-er Plum Wine at Yangerlou. At Insieme, spicy wontons in chili oil are matched with both the Castelli del Duca Obello Bianco DOC and the Poggione Rosso di Montalcino DOC, creating a surprising harmony between spices and aroma. Even desserts go well with alcohol. At MATCHA ONE, the signature matcha Mont Blanc meets Le Somm’s Junmai Ginjo sake, crafted by Thomas himself. The food adventure ends in the heart of Qingguang Night Market, where the duo enjoys Taiwan’s iconic stinky tofu with Gutiérrez Colosia Amontillado Sherry.
