Cyprus Dinner

Bailliage of Cyprus
Limassol, July 2, 2020

Thrilled to be able to gather again
" Executive Chef Savvas Savva prepared the menu "

Members and their guests were thrilled to be able to gather at Limanaki Fish Tavern in the Amathus Hotel given that three months had passed since our last dinner due to the COVID-19 lockdown.

The relaxation of the restrictive measures led the National Officers to decide the time was right for Bailliage activities to recommence. On the proviso, naturally, that everyone adhered to the Cyprus government’s safety and health protocols in place for food service.

The maximum number of attendees was set at 80 so early booking was essential. Executive Chef Savvas Savva prepared the menu. As usual the wines were chosen by Échanson Heinz Mueller and myself.

At the reception Champagne “R” de Ruinart was served. Grapes harvested mainly from the vineyards of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims are at the heart of all the Ruinart cuvées making for the original expression of the Ruinart taste. Chardonnay, in particular, is the very soul of Ruinart. The “R” blend is made up of 40% Chardonnay, 49% Pinot Noir and 11% Meunier, 20 to 25% of which are wines reserved from the 2 previous years.

It was a great pleasure for my National Officers and I to be able to greet the members and guests at the reception. To see them enjoying a most convivial evening of fine food and wine was vindication of the decision to hold the event.

Vive la Chaîne!
