hyatt regency coolum wine club newsletter jan 11

�… to our inaugural wine club member

bulletin for 2011. Every month we will

provide you with information on the wine

sector by either showcasing a particular

grape variety or vineyard and highlight our

in store and wine club member only

specials. We want this to be an enjoyable

and interactive insight into the essence of

wine whilst being a concise and useful

guide to our cellar.

For those whom have joined recently and

haven�’t used their membership card: You

receive 10% off the listed price when

purchasing two or more bottles of wine

(this excludes already marked down

products).

For those who will be with us at Hyatt

Regency Coolum in January please be

informed that we will be open everyday

from 5pm, including Australia Day on 26

January. There will be wine tastings every

Friday & Saturday night between 5.30pm

to 8pm. Please feel most welcome to

come in and sample the wine available and

have a passionate chat with our friendly

and informed cellar staff.

I guess only time will tell! In the

meantime, we have seen an interesting

switch to other grape varieties of late.

Could this simply be attributed to

experimenting with different varieties and

styles, or is the Sauvignon Blanc bubble

about to burst?

Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio (the earlier

picked style) has been the alternate choice

by former Sav�’ consumers for its lifted

bouquet, lean freshness and its ability to

pair with food, particularly our �‘Noodles�’

restaurant.

Consequently we have extended our

range of this variety and will soon host

products from Alsace France, as well as

Australia and New Zealand. Brands such as

Isabel, Astrolabe, Vavasour, and Tar &

Roses provide excellent value for money

starting at $25 per bottle.

Look out for in store Pinot Gris & Grigio

wine tastings�…

Due to popular demand and much to

Steven�’s delight, the brain child of wine

maker David Powell: �‘Torbreck Wines�’,

have been on special in store for the past

month and will carry on to the end of

January. The stock available has been

severely depleted with only a few of the

The Gask �’06, Descendant �’06, Runrig �’03,

�’04, and �’05 left.

Notably though we have released The Strui

�’06, available now. We have priced the

premium wines (Run Rig & The

Descendant) at the relative auction price

available in store, though for members

only we are extending an extra 10% off on

any two bottle purchase of the Torbreck

Run Rig. This amazing offer is available for a

period of two weeks only. For prices and

further information please call or see me

in store after 5pm. We can deliver Australia

wide (please note: prices may vary to

remote areas and for larger quantities).

If you have any special requests or would

like us to showcase a particular grape style

or region please let us know. Till we meet

in store, Salut.Allan
