Mandalay
Bay will set the stage for a fun and interactive culinary competition between
two of the leading beverage experts in Las Vegas Wednesday, May 21 at 7:30 p.m.
at miX Restaurant. Hosted by Mandalay Bay’s Director of Food and Beverage and
Certified Cicerone Sarah Johnson and Director of Wine Harley Carbery, the
exclusive dinner menu, created by miX Executive Chef Bruno Riou, will pair each
course with a beer and wine selection. Carbery will explain to guests why his
wine pairing is the best choice followed by Johnson, who will entice guests to
select beer as the ideal pairing for a specific course. The two will go
head-to-head throughout the culinary experience with the assistance of
Winemaker Russell From of Herman Story Wines and Brewmaster Matthew Brynildson
of Firestone Walker Brewing Co.
After
each course, guests will determine the winner of the battle by a round of
applause to show their support for #TeamWine or #TeamBeer. One team will be
crowned champion until the next chapter of this interactive and unparalleled
rivalry continues. Future events will be announced at a later date.
