Brrrr, it's cold outside

Winter is now well and truly here and whilst we don't really like the cold dark winter months, we do love cooking wintry warm food.

We've some lovely new dishes on our menu such as Venison Osso Bucco and the Herb Crusted Lamb Shoulder Cutlets, and of course the old favourites such as Coq Au Vin.

And there are always the daily specials for you and your friends to enjoy.

Our menu changes often, as our regulars will know. Dale is inspired by what's available from our lovely suppliers and what he sees at the daily markets. In the last few weeks, for instance, the leeks have been just perfect, so they've found their way into accompanying our Grilled Beef Fillet dish.

Teatime rocks!

We're now serving Dilmah's Teatime rocks! range of teas. Choose from Brilliant Breakfast, Earl Grey, Mediterranean Mandarin, Rose with French Vanilla, Green Tea with Jasmine Flowers, Moroccan Mint Green Tea, Ceylon Whole Leaf Green, Pure Chamomile Flowers, Pure Peppermint Leaves and Rosehip with Hibiscus Flowers.

For only $4 a pot for one, this is a great way to enjoy a refreshing drink at Vista.

We're now serving Moa Beer

Speciality Moa Beer is now available at Vista. We have Moa Methode and Moa Pale Ale on tap, as well as Moa's bottled beers - Harvest, Wit Beer, Methode, Blanc, Noir, Pale Ale, Imperial Stout, Belgian Style Tripel, Five Hop Winter Ale and Moa's Breakfast Beer.

Dale says, "We're thrilled to be selling Moa's full range. The beauty of Moa is that it's not ony a real bloke's drink with beers such as the Moa Pale Ale and Moa Noir, but there are varieties such as Moa Breakfast Beer and Moa Blanc that are lighter and fruitier." 

We held the Wellington launch for Moa's Breakfast Beer with a special Breakfast Special. It was a fantastic morning, helped by the sun shining brightly and lots of people sitting outside enjoying our breakfast with the light, fruity Breakfast Beer.  See the photos to the right, and you can just spot Dale on the first left of the top photo, together with Moa Beer people.

And did you know that Moa is already New Zealand's biggest exporter of beer to the US? It can be found in 10 states, including selected branches of the high-profile Whole Foods premium natural grocery chain. Go Moa!

WOAP is now over for another year. We've loved having so many diners visit us and enoy our best-value-ever-special menu. We so much enjoyed hosting the hundreds of people who came to Vista.

Until 2012 . . .
