At the event, you will taste the dishes and the wines and discuss each pair. Our Echanson will take your feedback into consideration for the final selections

Battle of the Wine Merchants 2026

Bolero

Battle of the Bermuda Wine Merchants!

We are delighted to invite you to one of the most anticipated evenings on our calendar — the Battle of the Wine Merchants, taking place on Saturday, April 11th at Bolero Brasserie.

Our local wine merchants — Gosling’s, Discovery/Burrows, and Pitt & Co/Tasting Room — will each select wines to pair with each course Chef Jonny’s exceptional menu, demonstrating their skill in the art of pairing.

All of us will be the judges, casting our votes for the wine that best complements each course. The winning merchant will take home the coveted crystal decanter trophy.

The stakes are especially high this year. Ryliegh McGhee from The Tasting Room has taken the trophy for the past two years. Will she make it three in a row — or will one of her rivals take the title?

This is always a lively and popular evening, so we encourage you to reserve early. We look forward to seeing you there for what promises to be a delicious and entertaining night.
