“Due to [the emirate’s] growing diverse expatriate residential base, combined with an impressive growth in tourism, interest in wines has shown a formidable increase,” he noted.
“With this in mind, the quality of the offerings available has progressed dramatically over the years.
TOP TIPPLE FOR SUMMER:
“Kendall Jackson Rosé from California, which is fresh and fruity and available at the Beach Bar and Grill; and Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc, made in a fumé blanc style, which is a ‘food-friendly’ sauvignon with a more complex character than many sauvignons on the market today. This is available at Eauzone.”
