will do the second staging of its seven course fine dining wine paired event, Genesis,
featuring multi-award winning internationally featured Jamaican Chef Oji Jaja.
“The initial event in November 2023 was a resounding success. We got rave reviews and
requests to do it again. So, we listened and took our time to plan the second staging so that we
can top the first one,” said Golf View’s Managing Director, Peter Campbell.
The hotel is partnering with Harbour Wines and Spirits in this interactive event which will see
the chef presenting each dish and telling the story of origins of the flavours and ingredients,
following which the wine partner sommelier will explain the notes and fragrances in each wine
selected for pairing with each dish.

four courses that we had in our initial staging to seven,” said Campbell, while adding that the
event will run from 6:00pm to 10:00pm.
A formal event, the evening will start with an opulent cocktail hour by the hotel’s newly
refurbished gazebo, followed by a gourmet dining experience in its auditorium. Media partners,
www.chrismixradio.com and Central Expressions will provide coverage of the event.
“Jamaican cuisine is dynamic, versatile and worthy of the most elevated presentation. That’s
what Genesis aims to do - to showcase the range and dynamism of the Jamaican gastronomy
experience. I can’t wait to see what Chef Jaja has in store,” said Director of Golf View Hotel,
Mrs. Kemilee McLymont-Campbell while adding that the hotel was particularly happy to have
Chef Jaja on board.

prompting emcee Terri-Karelle to hail him as “one of the greatest opera singers to come out of the Caribbean.” Carole Reid in turn was obviously enjoying the event and performed several pieces including Ave Maria and Tell Him with Carla Tulloch. Her joy, experience and expertise in delivery was quite inspiring. Tulloch too, demonstrated her tremendous talent with her rendition of Whitney Houston’s I will always love you. A rendition that garnered a standing ovation from her audience and queries about when she would be releasing her album as the audience wanted to hear more of her. Andre Shephard as always never disappoints and had the audience eating out of the palm of his hands. Overall, it was an evening of great musical feasting and Harold Davis brought the curtain down with a festive gospel medley that had Christchurch on its feet dancing. A fitting end to an outstanding show.
