Singapore National Sommelier Competition 2017

We are incredibly proud of Senior Beverage Director Alvin Gho for his stellar performance at the 7th Singapore National Sommelier Competition held at the Goodwood Park Hotel on December 13! The vino enthusiast beat 14 other candidates to win the coveted championship title while also clinching the Best Theory and Best Service Awards. Organized by the Sommelier Association of Singapore, the annual competition sees top local sommeliers from the best restaurants, wine bars and bistros coming together and vying to represent the country on a Regional and World basis in the quest for Sommellerie excellence. All participants undergo a series of grueling tests including a written exam, blind tastings, food and wine pairing, wine service and management, and general knowledge.
