The 2014 Goldring Travel Food & Wine Tasting aboard the
AmaWaterways AmaCerto was a huge success.
With an absolutely gorgeous setting in the aft lounge/Chef’s Table as we
sailed the Danube River we had a true taste of the wines of Germany, Austria,
Hungary and even the AmaCerto…plus one from Romania (which the staff included
quite proudly).

| Maitre de, Catalin, did an wonderful job guiding us through five countries and 15 wines..plus all the food! |
But the star of the event wasn’t only the wine, but the food. While I had picked up some great cured meats, liverwurst, cheeses and such in Wurzburg (and we also picked up some “stinky” cheese and truffled gouda in Passau, Germany), Robert, the AmaCerto chef did a spectacular job not only combining what I found with some of the smaller menu items on the AmaCerto, but some very creative items including his homemade goose liver pate with marmalade and more.

| AmaCerto’s Chef Robert Dorner created some outstanding presentations for the Food & Wine Tasting |

I have always said that chefs on cruise ships got their jobs because they are actually chefs…not cooks. So if you give them the opportunity to “do their thing” something spectacular will come of it…and that it did.
 |
| The 2014 Goldring Travel Food & Wine Tasting had one heck of a view from the AmaCerto! |
A touching moment was when the Romanian assistant introduced a “surprise”: A Romanian wine!
The staff onboard the AmaCerto are proud of what they do and are so very happy doing it…and it makes the food and the wine taste even better!
