Are the wine pairings from Victoria and Albert's worth the extra $60?

[Pakey]

V&A used to offer a Domestic Wine Pairing and an Old World Pairing. They have not offered that choice for a number of years. I have not heard of the "reserve pairing" option.

We enjoyed a Far Niente cabernet with our main course recently as part of the wine pairing. Most restaurants would never offer Far Niente by the glass!

I do agree with Rusty that, if you drink (and like) white zin, skip the wine pairings.

The last time I remember the Old World Pairing was in 2001.
