Course - Wine Emporium (starter course)

Quite an enjoyable evening drinking some quality white wine. Learning about the process and why cold climate wines are different to warmer climate wines.

The course was a good balance of tasting and comparing as well as a more informal 'school-like' learning. Smal group of around 12 people and a variety of about 10 wines from Australia, NZ and even one from France ($70 a bottle)

Now I'm not one for whites myself, but I did quite enjoy the 2006 Dog Point 'Section 94' Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. One of the more prominent of the oaked whites we tried.

Next week is the reds selection...

Price $99 for two weeks
