[NSW] “Warriors of Wine” Sommeliers Long Lunch *SOLD OUT!*

Join us for our inaugural Sommeliers Long Lunch event in Sydney…

3 sommeliers + 3 wines + 3 matched courses
= one “Warrior” to rule them all!

Who. Will. Reign?

For the first time ever, the Sommeliers Australia “Warriors of Wine” Sommeliers Long Lunch will be held in Sydney, on Sunday 23 June at One Penny Red.

For this inaugural showdown, the battlelines have been drawn by 3 of Sydney’s best up and coming sommeliers:

  Bridget Raffal, Sixpenny

Bryce Faiella, ARIA

Mirko Scanu, One Penny Red

The challenge will be for each “Warrior” to each present three wines to match three dishes prepared by the talented team at One Penny Red. But, our Warriors have chosen to up the ante by each selecting their three wine matches from their choice of Australian producer…

1 Warrior + 1 Winery = 3 great wine matches

Or does it!?

You decide.

Accompanying the 3 course ‘battle round’ will be an aperitif and canapes on arrival, and cheese with a glass of something delicious to finish selected by Matt Dunne. In total 10 wines will be served.

The winner will be determined by the gathered wine and food lovers of Sydney, who will cast votes for their favourite wine matches.

Not only is this a fantastic opportunity to see three of Sydney’s best young sommeliers put through their paces, but the lunch will also include a fundraising raffle and auction, with funds going towards supporting the Sommeliers Australia Education Scholarship to be held in August 2019.

Offered every three years, the Education Scholarship is often touted as being the Len Evan’s Scholarship for young sommeliers, giving them access to some of the best international wines and the knowledge and experience of Australia’s best sommeliers and industry experts.

So book a ticket, or for a group, and watch our 3 “Warriors” in action as they present their best wine match. Seats for this event are VERY limited, so book quickly!
