I spent two ‘jam packed’ fantastic days with the Domaine wine Shippers team in Queensland. Out on the road with an ‘oldie’ but a goodie, yes that’s you Evan and gee he worked me hard!
Starting in Maroochydore our first stop off was to see Tony Cox from The Wine Bar. Tony writes the lists for several restaurants on the Sunshine Coast and also writes a few wine columns here and there, a charming fellow with a sharp wit. The Water Front Restaurant is looking at showcasing Man O’ War/Waiheke Island in the coming months, which we are very excited about!
On to visit Dion at The Boat Shed and further up the coast to visit Seasons Restaurant in Noosa, Seasons is a gorgeous spot of which I have attended a few weddings!
Down the road to the River House Restaurant, another gorgeous Venue we met Tim Watson, a long time friend of Evans and a bit of a name on the coast. Several more stop offs and it was time to make my way back down to Brisbane.
On our way home we popped in to meet Rick Travers from the Yandina Hotel, the Yandina is under going an over haul and will be fabulous once finished. Rick is a keen wine drinker and was very excited about the Ironclad Bordeaux Blend!
The following day I had the pleasure of meeting the rest of the Queensland DWS sales team consisting of John K, Isaac Curgenven and the lovely Tara Britain. I spent several hours presenting Man o’ War to them, steering clear of the dull wet day outside.
While in town I ventured out to Philip Johnsons e’cco Restaurant, a great DWS account in which we were spoilt rotten! Afterwards we checked out 'Cloud 9' a new hip and happening night spot in Brisbanes New Farm, a little like The Ivy in Sydney, incredible decoy!
Short and sweet and now on to a fun filled week in gorgeous Sydney!
See you soon,
Bronny.
