Tuesday June 27th, 5.30pm - 7.30pm How often do you get two of the country’s pre-eminent importers in one room together to take a deep dive into two of the wine world’s most fascinating wine regions? Well, that’s what we have done, and it’s an exciting prospect indeed. Scott Wasley and David Ridge have been responsible for laying the foundations of Spanish and Italian wines in Australia. Their knowledge and intimate understanding of their respective terroirs is unsurpassed by few if any and when we heard they wanted to showcase a tasting of some of the greatest wines of Rioja and Piemonte’s prized locales, we jumped at the chance to play host to this once in a lifetime event. Scott will be taking us through the ‘new wave’ of Rioja which sees a return to the roots of a rediscovered viticultural heritage bought back to light by a collection of savvy winemakers and producers. They are bucking trends and making waves in all the right ways celebrating Rioja’s distinctive villages and highlighting the diversity of the region as a whole. At the same time, David will be hosting a tour of Piemonte’s most singular and noteworthy sites with a focus on Barolo and Barbaresco as well as the surrounding hills and the patchwork of unique terroirs that make up this captivating region. This will be a fascinating journey exploring the 14 villages of Rioja and their Piemontese counterparts hosted by two of the country’s brightest and best. It features many of the country's benchmark producers and rising stars all in one place. Don’t miss out on this incredible and unique opportunity.
