To bring this vision to life, she has teamed up with sommelier Tongai Charie, whose expertise makes him the perfect partner.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWine is such a beautiful addition to a meal. It brings out different elements of flavour in a dish.\u201d\u2013 Chef Amori Burger<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Since opening, we\u2019ve been refining our wine list, and now we have a collection that allows us to offer a proper pairing experience for our guests,\u201d says Amori.<\/p>\n<p>For Tongai, the process was both an exciting challenge and rewarding. Matching wines to Amori\u2019s bold dishes required weeks of tasting, adjusting, and refining to ensure each sip complemented the flavours on the plate.<\/p>\n<p>This collaboration between chef and sommelier has resulted in a pairing menu that brings out the best in both food and wine, complete with tasting notes to ensure guests enjoy the full experience.<\/p>\n<a href='https:\/\/www.dineplan.com\/restaurants\/upper-union-restaurant?utm_source=Dineplan_Blog&#038;utm_medium=Post&#038;utm_campaign=UpperUnionPress' class='small-button smallblueshort_code' target=\"_blank\">Book Now<\/a>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;10619,10677&#8243; orientation=&#8221;portrait&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; zoom_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; hover_overlay_color=&#8221;RGBA(33,41,69,0.2)&#8221; hover_icon=&#8221;&#x4c;||divi||400&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Gallery&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_level=&#8221;h6&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;1px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;0em&#8221; caption_text_color=&#8221;#64697d&#8221; caption_font_size=&#8221;12px&#8221; caption_line_height=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;The menu: What to expect&#8221; module_id=&#8221;trends-gildas&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; link_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>The menu: What to expect<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Each pairing has been carefully selected to highlight the best of Amori\u2019s globally inspired dishes. Think Van Loggerenberg\u2019s Geronimo Cinsault 2023 paired with ox tongue and spekboom chutney \u2013 a match that balances richness with bright, fresh notes. For meat lovers, the La Brie Syrah 2022 is the perfect partner for the picanha steak, served with asparagus chimichurri and a stout demi.<\/p>\n<p>Even dessert gets the wine treatment. End off your meal with a decadent chocolate and hazelnut praline with Romany Cream crumble served alongside a glass of Colmant Brut Reserve. Tongai\u2019s tasting notes highlight how the bubbly cuts through the richness of the chocolate while its citrus and brioche undertones bring out the praline\u2019s nutty sweetness and the bright pop of lime gel.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;10633,10634&#8243; orientation=&#8221;portrait&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; zoom_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; hover_overlay_color=&#8221;RGBA(33,41,69,0.2)&#8221; hover_icon=&#8221;&#x4c;||divi||400&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Gallery&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_level=&#8221;h6&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;1px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;0em&#8221; caption_text_color=&#8221;#64697d&#8221; caption_font_size=&#8221;12px&#8221; caption_line_height=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Summer indulgence&#8221; module_id=&#8221;trends-gildas&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; link_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Summer indulgence<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The wine pairing is available for both the pasture and garden-sharing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upperunion.co.za\/#foodmenu?utm_source=Dineplan_Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_campaign=UpperUnionPress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">menus<\/a>, designed to be enjoyed by the whole table.
