When we started Sommelier Deathmatch dinner parties, we would attempt to document them in an old-school blog way. These links contain the menus, wine picks, and photos of every dish we've made.
We've changed our format slightly over the years, but the spirit of the match has always been the same--good food, good wine and good company!
