Tickets are available for our 19th May tasting via Eventbrite here
- plural form of hen's tooth
- (idiomatic) anything very rare or impossible to obtain is said to be like finding hen's teeth.
OK, so we maybe stretching the idiom here - but the wines on show here are certainly rare, though not impossible to find, in an Aussie context.
Again we celebrate the pioneers, the growers, vignerons and winemakers who are choosing to express themselves via grape varieties so new to Australia, that they may be the only producers doing so.
As ever, we look to show some top drawer wines, impart a little knowledge and have a little fun.
At a new - to us - venue, the ticket price on this occasion includes matched canapés with each bracket of wines (sorry, no food substitutes available).
