Tasting Jazz
While food and wine have a long history being matched together, wine and music make a less likely pairing. Last weekend, Time Out spent a Saturday afternoon at Soho’s Le Moment for Tasting Jazz – a lunch paired with wine and jazz music selections from Ronny Lau. Ronny is a music critic who has written about how certain types of music can enhance the experience of enjoying a glass of wine over a meal.
Our meal started off with an appetizer of Spanakopita – a Greek pastry filled with spinach and feta. The course was matched with a white wine native to France, and a track from a Balkan jazz band called Amsterdam Klezmer Band. Next was the main course of duck breast with cranberry sauce, matched with a red wine that Ronny said was the only bottle we were likely to find in Hong Kong, as it was sent to him as a sampler. Last was the dessert – a rich Tiramisu paired with a sweet red wine that was the perfect compliment.
Le Moment will be serving the main course from their special Jazz menu until October 2, so head over to Peel Street if you want to enjoy it. Meanwhile, head to www.hkijf.com to learn more about the Hong Kong International Jazz Festival on from September 25 to October 2.

That's an interesting idea. I am a huge Jazz fan and this definitely sounds like experimental art. I will check out hkijf. Could prove interesting.
