diners can now combine award-winning cuisine with a range of
exclusive wines and champagnes, thanks to a partnership struck
between a city restaurant and one of the world's leading luxury
drinks companies - Moet-Hennessy.
The Thai House - Wales' first
Thai Restaurant - has now added a collection of world-renowned wines
to its list through the first deal of its kind in Wales and owners
Noi and Arlene Ramasut are looking forward to unveiling the new wines
to their customers.
"We have witnessed a huge
change in people's attitudes to wine in the 23 years that we have
been running the Thai House," explains Mrs Ramasut. "Even
in the last few years, customers have become more knowledgeable and
more discerning in their choice of wine and we have responded by
developing and expanding our wine list."
Moet-Hennessy has itself been
adding to its portfolio in recent years and now owns brands like
Western Australia's pioneering Cape Mentelle, Newton Vineyard set in
California's famous Napa Valley as well as the much sought-after
Cloudy Bay wines from New Zealand. The partnership could be a match
made in heaven, according to Moet's regional manager Owen Davies;
"The New World wines in
our portfolio are extremely versatile and Thai House customers will
find something to complement everything on the menu. Certain brands,
like Cloudy Bay, also experience global demand that far outstrips
supply, so you are unlikely to see them in too many restaurants in
the UK."
