An unprecedented show-dinner to discover Piedmont!
Tuesday, May 14, 2024, the day before the fifteenth edition of the Barolo & Friends Event in Copenhagen, “Drink & Bite“, the most anticipated wine & food event dedicated to Piedmont of the year, returns in a completely renewed guise.
The protagonists of the 6th edition will be two exceptional guests: journalist, TV host, expert sommelier Morten Brink Iwersen, and chef Adam Aamann, winner of the “Danish Gastronomic Academy” award.
The format, completely revised, includes a dinner at the elegant Aamanns Køkken & Event, during which 100 Danish wine lovers will enjoy a show-dinner focused on the famous smørrebrød, signature-dish of the Chef, and presented in a completely new key inspired by Piedmont and its gastronomic excellence. Alongside the renowned smørrebrød, dinner will feature a selection of main dishes that blend Danish and Piedmontese culinary traditions.
Journalist, sommelier and TV star Morten Brink Iwersen will accompany the tasting with a virtual trip to Piedmont through a selection of labels and a fun “quiz” in search of the best match.
The evening will continue with a free tasting in the presence of a selection of Piedmontese producers, preferably already imported, who will present over 60 labels in tasting from different areas of Piedmont.

Morten Brink Iwersen: journalist and TV star with a passion for wine
Journalist, sommelier and Danish TV star, Morten Brink Iwersen has an immense passion for wine, which began after high school, and led him to work in several production companies.
