[NSW] “Warriors of NSW Wine” Sommeliers Long Lunch
Sunday, 26 February 2023 # 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm AEDT
* SOLD OUT *
3 sommeliers + 3 NSW wines + 3 matched courses
= one “Warrior” to rule them all!
Who. Will. Reign?
Sommeliers Australia’s “Warriors of NSW Wine” Sommeliers Long Lunch is back in February. With the support of NSW Wine we’re bringing three regional sommelier “Warriors” to Sydney for a region vs. region showdown!
The “Warrior of NSW Wine” title holder will be decided on by those in the dining arena, on Sunday 26 February at The Old Clare Hotel.
The battlelines have been drawn by three of NSW’s most talented sommeliers, who will showcase wines from their ‘home’ region:
Gabby Fury (Grafted Wines) representing northern NSW & surrounds
David Collins (Charred Kitchen & Bar, Orange) representing western NSW & surrounds
Lucas Woods (ex-Aubergine, Canberra) representing southern NSW, Canberra & districts, & surrounds
The challenge will be for each “Warrior” to each present three NSW wines to match three courses prepared by the talented Jarrod Walsh (ex-Hartsyard) and team.
Accompanying the three course ‘battle rounds’ will be an aperitif on arrival, plus a glass of something delicious to match a cheese course. In total 11 wines will be served.
The winner will be determined by the gathered wine and food lovers of New South Wales, who will cast votes for their favourite wine matches.
Not only is this a fantastic opportunity to see three of the state’s best sommeliers put through their paces, but the lunch will also include a fundraising raffle and silent auction. This year funds raised will go towards supporting Sommeliers Australia’s Best Sommelier of the World 2023 candidate in travelling to the competition in Paris.
So book a ticket, or for a group, and watch our three “Warriors” in action as they present their best wine match.
