March 20th - Alternative Varietals Session

March 20th sees Swirl, Sniff, Spit host an alternative varietals tasting.  Some of these grape varieties are rather well established in Australia, some grown by a mere handful of wineries.  They may represent the future, they may be a passing fad.  

Spaces open up for the tasting at 9am on the 12th March: first-in-best-dressed!
