The Riviera Owners Evening September 2024

 

Another fabulous Riviera Owners Evening -Thursday 5th September

We got to meet the man behind ‘Fish Talk’ – Dave co-owner Hunting & Fishing North Shore.  Together with his friends from Shimano, they shared ‘Where the fish are biting’ and ‘How to catch them’!  With lots of goodies given away on the night – good fishing everyone!

Everyone got to enjoy our Galley Gourmet Chef Rob’s seafood special to celebrate Spring – checkout the recipes here >>>

  • The Spring Mango & Prawn Salad
  • Smoked Kahawai Pate
  • Rob’s specialty – ‘Ika Mata’ (raw fish)
  • Thai Fish Cakes
  • Mussel Fritters

This was followed by our guest Mr Jim Robertson, Global Wine Ambassador for Pernod Ricard who shared his recommendations and tasting notes to match the menu – from Church Road, GWEN Rose and GWEN Chardonnay was served and loved by all!  We also learned how the name GWEN came about:  Named in honour of Gwen, the influential wife of Tom McDonald, father of Church Road and pioneering winemaker.
A big thanx to Pernod Ricard for the very generous lucky spot prize on the night – a bottle of Mumm Champagne and 6 Mumm Champagne Glasses Congratulations to Catherine Honnor our winner on the night – enjoy!
