Spice it Up at Light Years
We all kn0w that Light Years Asian Bar and Diner serves up a good time with plenty of spice and drinks to match. Edwina Cattanach advises you to be quick to book your tickets to our wine lunch!
At the busy end of the Junction, Light Years Asian Bar and Diner was the first kid on the block bringing awesome modern Asian food to Noosa! An incredible menu, delicious cocktails, and an energetic party vibe, Light Years spices it up. IN Noosa Magazine is thrilled to be working with the team to bring you a modern Asian Wine Lunch full of great wine, spice and all things nice.
The Love Spice Wine Lunch is locked in for Friday 13 November with a menu, which will no doubt include some of the restaurant’s incredible signature dishes. Let’s hope the Beef Rendang or the Kingfish Ceviche gets a look in, as both are seriously delicious. Adding a little more spice will be the paired wines, which have been carefully selected to complement each dish.
The three key wines: Rockbare Clare Valley Riesling brings a lemon lime zest alongside crushed green apple; the Gilbert Skin Contact Gewürtztraminer is a beautifully aromatic amber wine with notes of Turkish delight and rose water and insanely textured and crisp palette; and the Vicious Vino 2020 Noveau Gamay will add a kickass grape juice, light and vibrant ruby red with notes of strawberries, finishing with a crunchy paw paw.
Each of the wines will bring thirst-crushing goodness to what will be a fun and frivolous celebration of spice.
The Love Spice Wine Lunch is perfectly timed given we all need a little spice in our life. The limited tickets will sell quickly, so make sure you let your favourite lunch crew know and get your tickets early.
