Carmody's







Restaurant manager Socky Soares puts together the events which are always sold out well in advance.


The most recent featured Heggies wines from the Barossa with winemaker Sam Wigan presenting several styles and Chef Nathan Hay and his team providing complementary dishes.



The wine dinner maintained its usual high standard with great dishes perfectly matched to excellent wines.

The evening began in the lounge bar with canapés and a Rose bubbly by Jansz.

Three of the wines featured included a 2013 Heggies Riesling which showed great complexity and went well with a smoked trout entrée.

A 2011 Heggies Chardonnay stood up extremely well to a delicious offering of pork jowl with umeboshi, seared scallop, celeriac and green apple.


An exceptional 2010 Heggies Merlot was perfect with juniper spiced venison, braised red cabbage, vino cotto and buttermilk puree.

The dinner was rounded off with a 2011 Botrytis Riesling the lime juice flavours  adding to the enjoyment of an elderberry panna cotta with macerated berries, rose jelly and pistachio floss.

The dinner was another example of the fine quality always found at Carmody’s so ably run by maitre d’ Socky Soares and his team.
