At this anticipated celebration of the world's finest wines by leading independent guide The Wine Advocate Robert Parker, BYOB takes on a new meaning
It’s dubbed a Matter of Taste for a good reason, but if there’s one thing that imbibers will all agree they love most about the event it is the opportunity to sample over 200 top wines, rated from 90 to 100 Robert Parker points, at the event’s Grand Walkabout Tasting, masterclasses and wine dinners this year.
As part of its continuing global series, which will include stints in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo and Zurich, among other key cities this year, the Singapore leg returns to the Regent Singapore on February 28 and 29 for its sixth edition.

Fans of the event have had to wait a little longer than before as the last edition was in August 2018. Like before, though, the Grand Walkabout Tasting on the second day promises to be a showcase of some of the finest pours from the new and old world, coupled with the opportunity to meet and learn from The Wine Advocate reviewers, such as Monica Larner, who covers Italian wines, and Joe Czerwinski, the reviewer for the wines of Australia, New Zealand, Rhône and the South of France.
They will also be able to glean precious insights into these winning wineries and even a few fun stories from the winemakers who are just as excited to be here. "Taking part in Matter Of Taste is an experience that we always find enriching," affirms Alessandro Mori, winemaker and owner of Il Marroneto. "For this reason, we always try to be present at these events, where we have the possibility to tell passionate and knowledgeable wine lovers, as well as trade experts, all about our company."
