OENO INTRODUCES PTAH BROWN – STARTING SEPTEMBER 12TH 2010 AT THE WESTIN DUBAI

Her latest CD, "Blues- Live In Italy" demonstrates a style cutting across several musical genres—blues, jazz, pop, Gospel...  Singing with power and passion, she dazzles her audiences.  Ptah's natural ability to communicate with her fans is evident, in the many accolades she receives wherever she performs.

Trendy and accessible, Oeno is an impressive bar that caters for a wide range of clientele. The space is narrow and high, divided into two levels with an impressive stainless steel and glass stairway that leads to the upper floor. The colour palette of dark wood floors, greens, browns, chocolate and creams, create an atmosphere that is cosy yet chic. The bar is long and luxurious furnished in retro 70’s elegance, with backlit Perspex squares in a selection of colours, interspersed with timber panels, providing alcoves displaying delightfully decorative glassware. A striking stainless steel wine rack completely fills one wall near the entrance, and a Baby Grand piano, nestled under the stairwell provides a live entertainment option.

For those seeking a more secluded area, a half height wall topped with fitted lamps provides a break from the main space and funky furniture from Italian design houses such as Edra and Cappelini complement these sumptuous surroundings. To one side of the bar is a glass walled anteroom dedicated to guided wine tasting, where the passionate sommeliers are on hand to help you through the extensive selection of wines available. They also provide expert advice on the pairing process, as directly opposite is a cold room displaying a dazzling array of cheeses ranging from the well known Roquefort and Cheddars to soft goat’s cheeses flavoured with lavender and juniper berries.

Washed rinds, blue moulds, parmesans and pecorinos, they come from Britain, Italy and Spain, and France. You can choose to take them away, or nibble by the bar, and they are served with black charcoal crackers, sweet plum pickle, and truffle honey. Oeno is a pantheon to cheese and wine.
