Episode: 28
Presenter: Chrissy Morrissy
Air Date: 23rd Aug 2026

Chrissy visits the UMA restaurant at Pan Pacific and talks wine with Chief Sommelier Ivo Lorenz. Ivo gives his expertise on wine pairings, and UMA’s philosophy, balancing South American culture with fresh products from WA.

• UMA, located in the Pan Pacific hotel overlooking the Swan River foreshore, is a luxury quality Peruvian restaurant, that offers both traditional and experimental flavours all influenced by South American and Peruvian cuisine.
• The Chief Sommelier at UMA is Ivo Lorenz, an expert at finding the best of the best in terms of Western Australian wine, no matter how small the winery.
• UMA prides itself on its blend of Peruvian cuisine made with Australian ingredients and its wine is no different, with the Ivo finding the perfect Peruvian or locally sourced pairing no matter the dish.
• UMA’s new seasonal menu, Journey Through the Amazons, begins with a Peruvian soul, then shifts into a broader South American taste, which is supported by wine pairings from Ivo and his team. These wines both compliment and contrast the Peruvian food, with tastes from around Western Australia creating something truly unique.
• At UMA you don’t need to know much about wine, they have you sorted, so bring a sense of curiosity and let Ivo do the rest.
