Bayleaf offer conference menu selections that span the entire criterion of requirements from intimate boardroom luncheons to largescale style buffet setups. Bayleaf conference menus are extremely cost effective and seek to compliment your key business objectives.

Bayleaf’s wine list spans from the modest and boutique, to the indulgent and iconic

BAYLEAF WINE PHILOSOPHY Bayleaf’s wine philosophy is driven by a belief in the intrinsic relationship between wine and food: A mutually beneficial relationship that is both complementary and inspiring. The Bayleaf team believe in providing a dining experience that is greater than the sum of its parts which is why we commit to the service of quality wine and the development of a culture that supports this. Our carefully constructed wine list spans from the modest and boutique, to the indulgent and iconic with a focus on varietal and regional expression. It is the unique ability of Christopher Hayes to effectively and creatively match wine to each course of Bayleaf’s extensive menu that allows them to fully realise their philosophy. Hayes believes that the consumption of wine is a voyage of exploration, discovery and enjoyment. And it is most enjoyed when accompanied by wonderful food. © BAYLEAF 2014 P51

CHRISTOPHER HAYES

Christopher Hayes, celebrated wine expert and exclusive consultant to Bayleaf Catering believes that an exquisite meal can only be enhanced by the right wine selection, which is why he has been chosen as part of the integral team to match carefully selected wines across every menu.

Christopher Hayes has a passion for creating a synergy between the food and wine

Starting early in life working in the family cellars in his mid-teens, Hayes experienced his first vintage at his brother-in-law’s winery at seventeen. Later he founded Hayes Fine Wines and since then has traveled the world crafting stories of his epicurean food and wine experiences featured in publications ranging from the Wine & Spirit Buying Guide to Vogue Entertaining. Hayes was the brains-trust behind The retreat Restaurant, Barrenjoey House and Perry’s - where Neil Perry first found acclaim; The restaurants won a total of five chefs hats in the SMH Goof Food Guide that same year. Hayes launched his own highly successful website in 2002 reviewing fine food and wine across Australia and since then has been engaged internationally to travel the world reviewing restaurants as his primary profession. Christopher joins the Bayleaf team with a passion for creating a synergy between the food and wine and wholly believes one cannot exist without the other, which makes him the perfect compliment to Turnbull and the wider team. © BAYLEAF 2014 P52

REGIONAL ITALIAN CHEESE & WINE EXPERIENCE Experience amazing Italian cheeses including Testun, Taleggio, Parmegiana Reggiano, Pecorino, Canestrato, paired with some of their finest regional wines such as Barolo, Chianti, Montepulciano d’Abbruzzo and the exotic red wines from the slopes of Mount Etna. Join us for a truly authentic Italian gastronomic journey with Hayes and the team.

REGIONAL FRENCH CHEESE & WINE EXPERIENCE Christopher Hayes invites your guests on a French culinary experience like no other. Pairing unexpected fromages with some fabulous French wines, this is an opportunity for some deep insight into the enigmatic French food and wine culture. NORMANDY : Camembert & artisinal Cidre JURA : Comte & vin jaune HAUT LOIRE : Sancerre & Chavignol BOURGOGNE : White Burgundy & Epoisses ALSACE : Munster & Gewurztraminer

REGIONAL WINES OF THE WORLD Select from any region of the world and the Bayleaf team will design a custom experience to tell the regional food and wine story of this destination. Such renowned areas may include Bordeaux, Yarra, Napa, Alsace,the Rhone etc. Hayes and the team will in turn carefully select the

wines to match the selected menu items. Italy : Piemonte or Tuscany Spain : various areas with the theme of the Tempranillo variety Note Bordeaux and Burgundy selections may increase some costs however will also prove an incredible experience for your guests, especially those with purist tastes of the single producer, single vintage variety.

ALSACE This region consistently proves one of the most beautiful to visit. The town of Colmar produces outstanding white varietals and increasingly good pinot noir. From steely dry whites through to luscious botrytis-effected wines of intensity and complexity, this is the land of the living when it comes to dynamic wine experiences. Indulgent, paired food selections may include local choucroute, trout and foie gras. WINES Riesling Pinot Gris Gewurztraminer Riesling – Vendange Tardive or SGN Pinot Noir

RHONE As the home to the world famous shiraz grape variety, the Rhone is a very exciting area where viticultural and winemaking developments of the last decade have seriously raised the profile of the region. This is in fact where Hermitage and Cote-Rotie produce shiraz of the very highest standard. Additionally this is the ancestral viticultural home of the white varieties marsanne, roussanne and viognier, producing fragrant dry whites, while Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise is a classic sweet wine of this part of France. Food selections will include a multitude of sunny flavours from the Mediterranean.

WINES Cotes-de-Rhone blanc Cotes-de-Rhone Crozes-Hermitage & Hermitage St Joseph & Cornas Cote-Rotie Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise

LOIRE The Loire flows over 1,000 kilometres from the south-eastern province of the Ardeche across France to meet the Atlantic near Nantes. The area mostly produces single variety wines such as sauvignon blanc, melon de Bourgogne, chenin blanc, gamay, pinot noir and cabernet franc. This is a highly developed viticultural region with outstanding wines coming from all districts. Food selections may include a goats cheese tart for the Sancerre, game bird for the gamay or pinot, veal rib for the Chinon and oysters or shellfish for Muscadet. WINES Muscadet Sancerre / Pouilly-Fume Vouvray / Montlouis Chinon / St Nicolas de Bourgeuil Saumur-Champigny Anjou/Saumur Gamay or Pinot Noir

UNIQUE VINEYARDS TASTING Experience a carefully considered selection of unique, albeit known vineyards paired with delicious regional fare. You are invited to select 5 wines from the regions below.

McWILLIAMS MOUNT PLEASANT “MAURICE O’SHEA” Maurice O’Shea crafted red wines in the Hunter Valley throughout the middle of last century, drawing what were then the best vineyards in the Hunter Valley. O’Shea’s mastery of sourcing the fruit, picking optimally and blending produced wines of amazing elegance and longevity. These wines are now some of myths and legend and spoken of with bated breath by any who had the opportunity to try them. He very often gave them names of friends and family with whites Elizabeth and Anne remaining on current vintages of white wines while Richard, Robert and Frederick gracing some of his most famous reds. Some individual vineyard names – such as Old Hill and Old Paddock (called O.P. & O.H. then) – remain, Rosehill has replaced “Robert” whence it was sourced. Now, in the best vintages the best wine parcels are reserved to honour the name of the man who

honoured others with his wines. This experience will be complemented with shellfish or delicate white fish for the Anne, and robust red meats with the reds. WINES Mt Pleasant Anne Semillon 5 X Mt Pleasant Maurice O’Shea

HENSCHKE VARIOUS VINEYARDS Henschke’s Hill of Grace is the only red that challenges Grange in the hierarchy of red wines in Australia with similar heritage, although reaching the pinnacle of consistent quality somewhat later. Unlike Grange Hill of Grace is a single vineyard wine from the Eden Valley above the Barossa. Henschke makes sother shirazbased single vineyard wines that live somewhat under the shadow of Hill of Grace but are wines of exemplary quality. This experience will be accompanied dark game bird and delicious red meats.

VITEK VODKA

Penfolds Grange is Australia’s icon red wine – renowned internationally

Vodka offers a unique alternative to wine as a valid partner to great food. Some of the worlds best vodkas are produced by Vitek Czernuszyn, a master of his craft who creates artisanal vodkas from around the world. Vitek has partnered with Bayleaf to offer small, intimate experiences for your guests using fresh produce infused into vodka to create a palate of exotic tastes, intensified by the alchemy of distillation. The dining experience commences with a seated meal followed by a vodka master class covering its origin, how it’s made, what distinguishes a good vodka from a bad vodka and how to consume it. The master-class offers back-to-back tastings of 4 major brands - Grey Goose, Kettle1, Belvedere and of course Vitek to demonstrate the notes that define this age-old spirit. entrees

PENFOLDS GRANGE TASTING Bayleaf has designed the most decadent of wine and food tastings – that of the Grange variety. Hayes and the team requests that you select 5 of any of the great vintages and allow the experts tell your guests the story of each of the wines. “Penfolds Grange is an Australian First Growth with a history, prestige and lasting quality that interconnects with the great wines of Bordeaux. For many wine collectors and observers it remains a defining modern wine.” First produced in 1951, it was made covertly for several vintages when the company hierarchy considered it unviable, but its quality eventually proved persuasive, and it has been produced in every vintage since. It is Australia’s icon red wine – renowned internationally – and a wine of indisputable quality and stature. This exceptional tasting experience will be complemented by food paired with each wine when served from youngest to oldest. To start, would be a simple small piece of Wagyu followed by meats/dishes that become softer and earthier then moving to venison, pigeon, casserole, etc. The experience would be finished with a cooked cheese dish.

Bayleaf uses local & organic produce where possible ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY Bayleaf is reducing the waste we generate from our activities. We implement event specific waste plans which we tailor for each function – factors vary depending on the location, type of service & number of guests. Contact the Bayleaf team for some ‘Green Options’ for your function. The initiatives we are taking comprise of the following: BEST PRACTICE The team at Bayleaf has a strong commitment to ensure our business activities are carried out in the most sustainable way possible, whilst striving to have a minimum impact on our environment. We use recyclable supplies across all facets of our business. From our office in Alexandria which has energy saving lighting on timers, recycled office supplies & water saving devices installed in the washrooms to our commercial kitchen that offers surplus food to be delivered to not-for-profit organisations such as Oz Harvest, for redistribution to people in need. SUSTAINABLE PRODUCE A careful analysis of our produce & suppliers has allowed us to assess the sustainability of the menu items we offer. We have been guided by the Australian Sustainable Seafood Guide as to the fish & crustacean dishes we offer to our clients. Although we occasionally use a local organic baker, most of our breads & 90% of our menu items are made from scratch in our kitchen. This means we control the ingredients used in our food products. WASTE MANAGEMENT Receptacles for cardboard/paper, general waste & glass/plastic are used to separate our kitchen & office waste. All the disposable products we use are either 100% biodegradable or recyclable. All oils used on site or at events are recycled. CARBON NEUTRAL We offer our clients the option to make their event carbon neutral. We used a local Green Energy Provider (www.todae. com.au) based in Glebe to assess the services provided & we purchase carbon credits to offset the carbon created to provide the catering at the event. In turn, clean energy is produced from Australian made wind power which reduces the carbon foot print of the event. LOCAL PRODUCE Bayleaf uses local & organic produce where possible & financially viable. However, if an interstate or overseas product is more sustainable, we will choose this product. Our location in Alexandria is an asset in this regard as there are many neighboring suppliers of high quality, Australian produce. © BAYLEAF 2014 P66
