SUMMARY:[SA] Alternate Riesling Universe: A Tasting
DESCRIPTION: **SOLD OUT**\n  \nRiesling and Germany are synonyms in the wine world\, with an identity so inextricably linked that one can hardly be mentioned without the other. \nYet\, as the price of German Riesling (and Old World examples in general) goes up and the quantities available go down\, these classic wines may well be out of reach or unavailable for some Australian venues. \nBut as sommeliers and wine buyers we need to find affordable replacements from somewhere. So where do we go for quality alternatives? \nThe rest of the wine universe of course! \nJoin Sommeliers Australia’s Marcell Kustos (LUDO Wines) and Shaughn Jenkins (Through the Cellar Door) as they visit an ‘alternate Riesling universe’. Compare German examples vs. New World offerings across four brackets of varying sweetness; taste and discuss the regional\, stylistic\, price and quality options that open up for somms and buyers once they look beyond the Old World and explore what else is out there. \n  \nTO BOOK:\n\nBookings are essential and will be taken until 4pm\, Friday 19 January\, unless booked out prior.\n  \n  ⇒ Sommeliers Australia Members – $30\n      To access Members priced ticket please login to your Membership Account before selecting tickets. \n  ⇒ Non-Members – $60 \n  \n

Chiba had a vision of opening her own place to further introduce and educate people about the diverse (and delicious) pairing potential of Japanese sake! \nEUREKA! opened its doors in late 2022 and ever since\, has been buzzing with excitement from sake lovers\, who visit from all over the world to enjoy her wonderful pairings and her incredible passion for what she does. \nChiba is also one of the main stars of the documentary film\, ‘Kampai! – Sake Sisters’\, and we are delighted to be bringing this film to Australia\, for the first time\, along with Ms. Chiba. \nAfter the screening of the film\, there will be an insightful panel talk and Q&A\, followed by sake tasting and food pairing in the bar area of Palace Cinemas. \nJoining Marie Chiba on the panel will be Michael Ryan and Simone Maynard. \nMichael Ryan is the owner/chef of two-hatted restaurant\, Provenance\, in the delightful town of Beechworth\, Victoria. \nRyan opened his first restaurant\, Range\, in 2006\, winning a succession of awards\, including The Age Good Food Guide’s two-hats and Country Restaurant of the Year in 2008. Provenance opened in early 2009 and has gone on to receive two-hats every year since. In 2013\, Provenance won Best Regional Restaurant and Ryan was named Chef of the Year. \nRyan has a long-term interest in Japanese sake\, cuisine and culture. His influences are reflected in the techniques and flavours he uses in his dishes and sake is always a feature on the restaurant’s extensive beverage list. \nRyan also hosts small-group guided culinary tours to Japan and is the co-author of the book ‘Only in Tokyo’. \nSimone Maynard is a Melbourne based Sake Educator & Consultant\, Sake Samurai\, Sake Sommelier and founder of Sake Mistress. She is also the founder and host of the online project\, Taste with the Toji\, and the host of TWTT – The Podcast. \nMaynard has over 20 years experience in the hospitality industry and has a long-term love of Japanese sake and culture. She has been travelling to Japan regularly since 2003. \nShe recently joined the team at the Australian Sake Festival and is also a senior judge for the Australian Sake Awards. \nWe invite you to join us and take advantage of this unique opportunity to hear from our wonderful guests and learn more about just how unique and diverse sake’s food pairing potential is! \nShould you wish to attend this free event\, we would appreciate it if you could inform us by Thursday\, 18th January by filling out the online registration form below. \n\n  \nOnline registration by 18 January: \nhttps://forms.gle/BimJfLL3DXjFden26 \n*Sake symposium and Premiere screening are limited to 50 places only. \n*Places will be given on a ‘first come\, first served’ basis for those who register online.
