SUMMARY:[VIC] The Rise of Sparklers: An Australian Sparkling Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:The production of sparkling wine in Australia\, in all its guises\, has been on the increase for a couple of decades now\, with the market for bubbly never losing traction. Join Sommeliers Australia and our expert panellists as we look into the rise and rise of sparkling – from production to the marketplace. \nThis masterclass will delve into how the Australian sparkling wine industry has evolved\, where it is headed\, and the role that dosage plays along the way. \nWith special acknowledgement to the role that the late Dr Tony Jordan played in the development of sparkling wine in Australia\, Glenn Thompson (Domaine Chandon) will share a selection of wines as part of a commemorative tasting. \nLooking towards the future of Australian Sparkling\, Ed Carr (House of Arras) will share some of his wines and thoughts about where the Sparkling sector is heading. \nClare Burder (Eminence Wines) will join Glenn and Ed to guide attendees through a structured tasting\, with the aim of demystifying the role of dosage in various styles of sparkling. \nThis is set to be a sparkler of a masterclass\, and definitely one not to be missed! \n  \nCOST:\nMembers – $30 + booking fee\nNon-members – $45 + booking fee \n  \nCLICK HERE to book your seat via Eventbrite. \n  \nPLEASE NOTE: Bookings are essential\, and will be taken until 5pm\, Monday 3 February unless booked out prior. \n  \nPlease contact info@sommeliers.com.au prior to RSVPing\, if you are unsure of your membership status.

SUMMARY:[VIC] Common Wine Faults: A Tasting Workshop

Never tasted mousiness? \nThen join us at this specialised 2 hour workshop as we examine wine faults commonly (mis)identified in a dining setting. \nHeld in collaboration with the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI)\, this workshop is open to Sommeliers Australia members and guests to attend. Common wine faults presenting in white and red wine will be shown in various concentrations (10 faults in total)\, and our panel of experts – AWRI scientist Matt Holdstock\, Jonathan Ross MS and winemaker Sierra Reed (Reed Wines) – will discuss why these faults occur and how best to identify them\, as well as being on hand to answer technical and practical questions. \nThis workshop is a must for sommeliers\, wait staff\, bar staff and anyone working in a retail or distribution setting\, as participants will learn to recognise and determine their own personal sensitivities and/or insensitivities to wine faults across both white and red wines. \n  \nSeats for this workshop are limited\, book early to avoid disappointment. \n  \nCOST:\nSommeliers Australia members – $99 + booking fee \nNon-Members – $149 + booking fee \n  \nCLICK HERE to book your seat via Eventbrite \n  \nPLEASE NOTE: Bookings are essential\, and will be taken until Friday 14 June\, 4pm unless booked out prior.
