Wine and Dessert Pairing Contest Crowns Its First Winners in Estonia

Michelin-starred NOA Chef’s Hall made history by claiming Estonia’s first Golden Fork award. The winning pairing, “Olive Renaissance,” was created by chef Sander Kuldsaar, pastry chef Mihhail Korot, and sommelier Aleksei Pogrebnoi. The jury tasted the sweet dessert wine Domaine Rotier Renaissance Vendanges Tardives from Gaillac, France, served with a dessert built from Kalamata olives, olive oil, plum, almonds, elderflower, Maldon salt, bourbon, vanilla, and strawberries.
