Nobu Berkeley Street have just introduced a new bar menu of cocktails that have been created specifically to compliment their cuisine. These new cocktails work to enhance the taste of their more delicate dishes, such as the sashimi and have been inspired by the dining menu’s ingredients - none of which you’d find on the average kitchen shelf! They include sake ,a variety of Japanese spirits, Jasmine tea, pickled ginger, Japanese basil and Yuzu syrup.
These new cocktails make sure that you can taste the quality of Nobu Berkeley’s food. The bar staff are trained to recommend drinks suited to your dish that will compliment the intense flavours. Nobu only uses the best Sake available, by trying this into a cocktail before sampling the food itself is a great way to get taste buds at the ready.

RM have just announced that the rare and coveted 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO (chassis no. 4675 GT) has been sold through private treaty.
The 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO (chassis no. 4675 GT) is one of only thirty-six 250 GTOs originally produced and one of a limited few with Series II GTO bodywork. In April 1963, 4675 GT left the factory finished in Rosso Cina. It was raced by such drivers as Guido Fossati, Jean Guichet, Oddone Sigala, Vincenzo Nember and Luigi Taramazzo and proved itself a tremendously capable racing car, rarely finishing outside the top three in its class and achieving numerous race wins.
In addition to being considered one of the most beautiful cars ever built by Ferrari, the GTO, with 302bhp @ 7500rpm and a top speed of 174-mph, was tremendously successful in competition, securing multiple World Championships for the Modenese car builder.
The idea of a break on an island as picturesque as this is most welcoming. Hamilton Island, on the great barrier reef has everything you could ask for.
Stunning views, pale green blue coral seas, temperature normally over 81’ every day, an exclusive waterfront pool and golf very much on the agenda.
The Hamilton Island Yaught Club has been created by Hamilton Island Owner Bob Oatley and famed yachtsman Iain Murray using the talents of architect Walter Barda. Barda has utilised natural timbers, sweeping lines, and a spacious open floor plan to compliment the beautiful surroundings. The finish is down to leading designers Coco Republic, who have furnished the interiors with an elegant kind of comfortable.
The spacious four-bedroom, four-bathroom stand-alone Hamilton Island Yacht Club Villas boast a wonderfully spectacular and panoramic view of the adjacent Dent Island and Dent Passage, the Hamilton Island Marina, and the surrounding Whitsunday Islands.
I mentioned Golf. Hamilton Island has the only championship island golf course in Australia. You also get to use the villa’s own golf buggy - you are here to take it easy.
A special offer makes this an even more desireable location - Book before may 31st 2010, and you can take advantage of a special introductory rate of AUD $4,050* for one villa including:
· Three-night stay for up to eight people
· $1,000 worth of complimentary activities and dining

That’s sold it.
