Australian Wine Tasting
with Chris Curtis of Winebow
Wednesday, Janaury 22nd, 3:30-5:30
@MetroWines on Charlotte Street
"at the bar" and "on the house"
Why Australia? Chris Says:
"It's cold as sin here, but it's warm summer in Australia. Come travel vicariously.
The Australian Open tennis tournament is in full swing. Come pick up a few bottles to drink whilst watching.
These are far from the overblown, over-extracted wines of yesteryear. Fresh Sauvignon Blanc (at 12% alcohol!), dry Riesling (11.5% alcohol!, 92 pts Wine Enthusiast!), a Margaret River Cabernet that's like a beautiful dream cross between Bordeaux and Sonoma, and a Shiraz from one of the pioneers of the Australian organic/biodynamic movement."
TASTING:
Shaw & Smith SB (Adelaide Hills)
Pikes Clare Valley Dry Riesling
Howard Park Miamup Cab (Margaret River)
Paxton MV Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
