SUMMARY:[TAS] Alternate Riesling Universe: A Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Riesling 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 David Newman (S.Smith & Son/Negociants Australia) and Michael Fisher (The Tasman\, A Luxury Collection Hotel) 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 2 February\, 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

SUMMARY:[NSW] Alternate Riesling Universe: A Tasting
DESCRIPTION: **SOLD OUT** \nTo join the waitlist\, please email events[@]sommeliers.com.au \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 Ella Stening (Raja Sydney) and Bridget Raffal (Where’s Nick Wine Bar) 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 9 February\, 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

SUMMARY:[VIC] “Between You and The Glass” Practice Blind Tasting
DESCRIPTION:We all know blind tasting is the best way to improve your palate but three things stand in the way – it can be costly\, it takes up time\, and it can be intimidating. \nThis blind tasting exercise removes all of these obstacles! \nCome and train your palate with the guidance of your hosts Sommeliers Australia’s Gill Sykes (WSET Educator\, Melbourne Wine House) and Noah Rozenfeld (CMS Advanced Sommelier\, NOMAD). \nAt the conclusion of each bracket\, your hosts will give a short summary on the key pointers for the tasting of the wine\, and how to get to the correct conclusions. \nFour wines – two whites and two reds – will be tasted. Wines are chosen primarily for their typicity and are a mixed bag of varieties\, origins\, quality and price points. This is suitable for anyone in the industry wanting to practice blind tasting in a structured way\, and would also benefit those studying all levels of WSET and CMS. \nAs a personal palate training exercise\, you can keep your notes private or share them with your peers if you wish to. \nSimply turn up\, taste\, test yourself and expand your tasting ability. \n  \n\nTO BOOK:\n\nBookings are essential and will be taken until 4pm\, Friday 16 February\, unless booked out prior.\n  \n  ⇒ Sommeliers Australia Members – $20\n      To access Members priced ticket please login to your Membership Account before selecting tickets. \n  ⇒ Non-Members – $45

SUMMARY:[NSW] Wines of the USA tasting - Bibendum Wine Co.
DESCRIPTION:February’s supersized event features twelve of California and Oregon’s finest. In the words of the cigar-chomping Sgt. Apone in Aliens\, what are you waitin’ for? \nJoining our existing producers\, we’re delighted to have secured four outstanding new agencies whose wines we could not be more excited to introduce. Each of these estates works with the kind of integrity\, soul\, and sense of place that we seek in every producer we represent (but too often find lacking in the technocratic landscape of the US wine scene). Back that up with a swag of outstanding wines\, and you’ll understand why we are delighted to add more depth to our US offerings. \nOnce again\, our US-based correspondents\, Jane Lopes (ex-Attica) and Jonathan Ross (ex-Rockpool)\, will join us in Australia\, especially for these tastings\, to lend their local expertise and in-depth knowledge of each producer. \nPlease note that to manage numbers\, registration is essential. Everyone from the wine team is welcome! \n  \nClick Here to register.
