Call it a marriage of convenience or a great partnership, but New Zealands leading wine
brand Matua is already making heads turn at Denaraus hottest Sunday beach party themed

lunch.
The partnership with Matua gives us the opportunity to showcase a dynamic wine brand
which, in association with our bespoke venue, generates a fresh and modern approach to beach
parties, says Josquin Crepelliere, Director of Food and Beverage at Sheraton Fiji Resort.
The dynamic branding is helping us to activate the venue, through our most important asset:
our people, Crepelliere adds.
For those who may not be aware, the Sunday Chill at Flying Fish Fiji is a four-hour happy
hour with live-DJ, next to the water. It is a great and funky beach party, for all ages, which drives
awareness from social media.
It offers the opportunity to the local community, but also our resident guests, to gather at
Sheraton Fiji resort and have a whole lot of fun. We offer a great selection of drinks with cocktail at F$15++, Beer from F$6++, and of course Matua wines from F$19 per glass, Crepelliere
informed.
This event was created primarily to be attractive to the local community. It offers a place to
relax, enjoy industryleading hospitality, while not paying premium for it.
We are excited that Matua is supporting us again in July with our wine of the month promotion.

Staff get wine knowledge through Dog Point

Vineyards

WINES from New Zealand

are doing exceptionally well in
the international market says Ivan
Sutherland of Dog Point Vineyards.
Mr Sutehrland who was recently in the country with his
wife Margaret made the comments while conducting a training
and brand awareness session with
a group of Prouds and Motibhai
Group sales staff.
He said what sets Dog Point
wines apart from others is the organic and holistic nature in which
the wines from their vineyards
are produced.
While addressing the sales
staff,
Margaret
Sutherland
thanked the team for the great
marketing efforts in promoting
their boutique wine brand in the
country.
You can produce the best
wine in the world, but if there
arent good people like you to
sell, its of no use, Ms Sutherland said.
Motibhai Group executive director Bhupendra Patel said the
company is honoured to have an
iconic brand such as Dog Point
in its list of world renowned wine
brands.
Group sales manager west
Manwal Kumar said there has

sales at our supermarket outlets,

Mr Kumar said.
Meanwhile, Dog Point Vineyards are specialist wine producers since 2002.
Dog Point insists on low
cropped vines and hand-picked

fruit whilst adhering to an organic

regime.
Our philosophy is to produce regionally distinctive wines
that will drink well now and age
gracefully for many years, Ivan
highlighted.

A tribute to Muhammad Ali,

the greatest of all time
Angela Clarke of UK shares her happy childhood memories of Ali
LEFT: Angela's signed
tin of Ovaltine.

RIGHT: Many of you may

not be aware, Muhammad Ali grew up drinking
Ovaltine. Seen in the
picture is Ali posing for a
promotion during his UK
tour in the seventies.

THE recent death of Muhammad Ali brought back great childhood

memories of watching boxing matches with my Dad, Councillor Whit
Stennett for the Clifford Ward.
Our family were massive fans of Ali and it was always a family
tradition to gather around the television to watch his pre-match banter
and cheer him on as he knocked out his opponents.
We also enjoyed watching him when he appeared on the Michael
Parkinson show.
In October 1971, when we heard that Ali was due to visit Stretford
Arndale to promote the Ovaltine drink, I cried and pleaded with my
dad to take me along.
I was only four-years-old but I was desperate to meet my hero and
role model. I can honestly say that it was one of the best days of my
life.
There were hundreds of people but I had a great view of 'the Greatest' as I sat on my dad's shoulders.
There was a huge amount of pushing and shoving on the day but Ali

took hold of my hand.

Despite the crowds we managed to purchase a signed tin of Ovaltine which we still have to this day!
