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.
