Francis Coppola Wine Dinner


Just received the pictures from our Francis Coppola wine dinner at Evason & Six Senses Spa and Resort in Phuket, Thailand. It was a great, very small event we were invited to. We had a dinner by their Executive Chef which was paired with wines from Coppolas vineyard, the Director's Cut.

To give a short introduction, Francis Ford Coppola is an American film director, producer and screen writer and directed among several, the Godfather films. He now also have a vineyard, and it was his wines we tried.

So with this really short intro, the dinner event's theme was Red Carpet Premier. We arrived with our "movie tickets" and was greeted with champagne on the red carpet that was rolled out and the flashes from the photographers did not stop. We mingled with the other guests, which in total there was about 18 people at the long table, which included the GM himself and the wine rep from the vineyard. The dinner was a five courses, fine dining with molecular influence. During the dinner event they kept showing a silent movie on the screen at the end of the table. It was a really nice event and I'm thanking the resort for inviting us to it!

No I have to get going, so....

Cheers my friends
