The St. Regis Bali Resort is Proud to Present a Local Twist to the Original Bloody Mary - The Bali Mary In 1934, bartender Fernand Petiot arrived at The St. Regis New York, bringing with him the recipe for a unique vodka and tomato juice cocktail that he perfected at the King Cole Bar. Since then, this original name was rechristened the 'Red Snapper". While this name may not have stood the test of time Ferdinand's spicy concoction certainly has, and the Bloody Mary remains the signature cocktail of St. Regis. In 2009, the signature St. Regis Bloody Mary experience will provide today's guest with access to this chapter in the brand's history. Guest will be able to enjoy Fernad's invention in several different manifestations, each with its own captivating story. The original Red Snapper recipe includes Vodka, Tomato Juice, Lemon and Variety of Spices. The St. Regis Bali Resort proudly presents the Bloody Mary, with a tropical Balinese twist. Called the Bali Mary, this interesting cocktail uses Jicama, a traditional favourite fruit in Indonesia, and refreshing cucumber in a unique recipe which transports Indonesians back to flavours of their early years. Guests will be able to enjoy the Bali Mary and feel the essence of Balinese culture. The Bali Mary recipe includes Absolute Pepper, Jicama, Cucumber, Brown Sugar, Tomato Juice, Lemon and Variety of Spices.

An Uncompromising Evening with Chateau Grand Mayne and its Spectacular St. Emilion, Bordeaux Kayuputi, Monday, 21 May 2012 A name perfectly describing the "manor" of this fine Bordeaux wine estate. The vineyard lies to the west of St. Émilion, at the foot of the plateau. The terroir tends to be one of clay and limestone on the southwest facing slopes, with a few vines on more sandy soils at the base. Chateau Grand Mayne is 19 hectares altogether. This magnificent Bordeaux wine vineyard is planted to 76% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon at an average of 30 years. The vines are planted to an average density of 5,500 vines per hectare. Of the utmost importance to this vineyard is that 17 of these hectares are planted in a single block which qualifies this Saint Émilion Grand Cru for the distinguished Grand Cru Classé Classification. A distinguishment that the house of Madame Marie-Francoise Nony and her two sons Jean Antoine and Damien, as the third generation since 1934, proudly bear. A memorable dining experience awaits at the St. Regis Bali as we present the Chateau Grand Mayne Wine Dinner. A sumptuous degustation menu prepared by Chef de Cuisine, Kayuputi, Agung Gede with precision. Accompanying carefully selected premium wines from the Chateaux Grand Mayne by Chief Sommelier, Harald Wiesmann. Joined by owner and producer, Jean Antoine Nony himself, the evening will commence at 07.00pm with cocktails, champagne and accompanying canapés at Kayuputi Champagne Bar and continues with dinner at the Mezzanine Level of Kayuputi at 07.30pm.
