Andy reports on the recent “Opera” themed wine dinner at One80 restaurant in Wellington.
Misha introduced the wines before each course and gave some information and stories about New Zealand wines, Central Otago and of course about Misha’s Vineyard. Chetan and his team plated dishes on the large bench out in the restaurant while Chetan talked through the dish and just how painstakingly detailed every element had been prepared. The process of preparing each individual piece of the dishes is quite amazing.
A highlight of the evening were the beautiful songs by singing star Hannah Chisholm. Hannah has had a career in singing with a range of styles from light musicals to opera. Her delivery was magnificent and captured everyone through each bracket of songs. It was the perfect accompaniment to magnificent food and wines.
We had a great evening and look forward to another incredible wine dinner at One80 again sometime soon.
