CIA spy Pearson meets contacts at the Graycliff Hotel |
The
Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster in the Caribbean spy series includes espionage and
counterterrorism scenes in lush tropical locations. One is the Graycliff Hotel
in Nassau, Bahamas.
If you like vintage wines, expensive cigars and/or epicurean delight
meals, the Graycliff is for you. Corey often meets his contacts at this place and even though he likes Bahama Mamas or Kahlik beer, he enjoys selections from
the Graycliff’s over 275,000 wine bottles, the third-largest private wine
collection on earth and the biggest wine cellar in the Caribbean.
The Graycliff Hotel houses the third-largest wine collection in the world! |
The boutique hotel was once a pirate manor
and getaway for British royals. Corey ordered one of the world’s oldest bottles
of wine, a 1727 Rudesheimer Apostelwein from Germany. What the heck, as a CIA
spymaster, it was on government money. He didn’t pay for it…you, the taxpayer
did. Just kidding…actually, he drank a cheaper brand for only $400 per bottle.
Graycliff models the Humidor
Churrascaria’s concept (pronounced choo-rah-scah-ree-ah), which dates back to
the early 1800’s in the south of Brazil. In short, the restaurant specializes
in Rodizio- a Brazilian barbecue method of grilling, cutting and serving
several varieties of meats such as chicken, pork, beef, lamb and more. At its Humidor
Churrascaria, platter after platter of decadently seasoned, grilled and
skewered meats are precisely cut and served, in succession, tableside, alongside
a banquet-style buffet of tantalizing dishes ranging from simple salads and
bean dishes to savory vegetable, fresh fish and indulgent Brazilian
specialties.
The Graycliff's cigar collection is unmatchable! |
Corey enjoys meeting contacts at the
Graycliff Hotel for dinner, and takes advantage of the continuous tableside
service, unlimited trips to the bountiful buffet and as much Brazilian barbecue
as his stomach can hold.
