About this Event
Join Wine Selectors at Italian fine dining institution OTTO Ristorante, as we shine the light on the innovation and tradition of Hunter Valley winemaking via three iconic producers: David Hook, De Iuliis, Bimbadgen and Little Wine Company.
Take your seat at the table with special guests from the wineries as we taste 16 wines; from classic Chardonnay and reserve Shiraz, to the new cool expressions; Albarino, Mourvèdre, Pecorino, Tempranillo, Vermentino, and Sangiovese all matched to a four course menu.
In an exciting twist, you’ll blind-taste some of the wines as the producers battle it out for the people’s favourite, as voted by you!
Hosted by Paul Diamond, Wine Educator and Publisher, Selector, for a wine experience that will redefine your view of Hunter Valley winemaking. So take your seat at one of Brisbanes most celebrated riverside destinations for an evening of discovery and indulgence.
