Thailand Dinner

Bailliage of Phuket, Thailand
Phuket, July 7, 2022

Thai themed dinner at Black Ginger
" great food, paired with very good wines and excellent camaraderie "

Great result! An exclusive evening with Thai cuisine paired with Thai wines at Black Ginger was enjoyed by 32 members and guests including GranMonte’s wine makers. Special thanks to Robert Wigman for coordinating both The Slate Resort and GranMonte Wines.

During dinner, GranMonte’s winemaker Nikki Lohitnavy and her sister Mimi, talked about their family’s 25-year journey building a vineyard business in Thailand.

Initially Nikki spent eight years in Australia including in the Australian wine heartland around Adelaide. All their grapes are sourced from their estate in Khao Yai.

We tasted seven different varieties. All of which pleasantly surprised members and guests as to their taste and quality.
