Today we’re pairing the iconic Vietnamese banh mi with three very different wines in a blind wine pairing challenge with legendary chef Dan Hong. You’ve seen Dan on MasterChef, The Streets, and at Mr. Wong, Ms G’s and El Loco — but today, we test his love of wine in the most unexpected way.

We each choose a bottle under $200 and put it to the test with a classic Vietnamese banh mi to see which wine matches best with pâté, coriander, chilli, pork and pickles. Will it be a white, sparkling, or a red wine? The result surprised all of us.

In this episode, we talk food, Burgundy, childhood snacks, Asian flavours, and Dan’s wine journey — along with his thoughts on wine and food pairing, collecting Burgundy, and why wine shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Come hang out, grab a banh mi, pour a glass, and enjoy the ride.

If you love wine pairing, Asian food, banh mi, Burgundy, Champagne, or Dan Hong, you’ll love this one.

Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to ⁨@TheWinedUp⁩ — and tell us in the comments: What wine would YOU pair with banh mi? 👇

Thank you to Dan Hong for taking the time to chat with us and share his love of wine and food. We had a great time and a lot of laughs.

Also try Banh Mi Bay Ngo at 49 Bankstown City Plaza, Bankstown, New South Wales 2200. It was delicious!
