Our first Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs (OMGD) event was a celebration of New World wines held at Poseidon Wine Cellar in Pattaya.

We took the opportunity to introduce an OMGD event for members and guests joining us from throughout Thailand to learn about and celebrate beautiful new world wines that are unique and new to many of our members. New World wine is diverse, with a great wealth of growing history and knowledge to explore.

Seven wines from the New World were featured complemented by Chef Barts delicious, creative European cuisine. VinesToVino Managing Director Raymond Whitley guided us through the selected wines.

Let us take you on our New World wine journey which gave us plenty to talk about!
