No. 3

The Grand Cru dinner was held in February at Le Figaro and enjoyed by all, except perhaps the next morning.  Who said you couldn’t get a hangover drinking great wine!

The next event will be a Deerfield Ranch wine dinner to be held on Saturday 28th April at Le Figaro.  Robert Rex and his wife PJ from Deerfield will be present to provide some commentary.  Five wines and dinner for $85 inclusive.  Book early as this will sell out quickly.

Several additional restaurants now stock our wines including Fourways Inn, Rockfish Grill (Newstead) and the Reefs.

Notes
Six of the wines we carry made the Wine Spectator top 100 for the year 2000:
 

#3 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Reserve 97

#17 Marcarini Barolo Brunate 96

#29 Bosquet des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape 98

#43 Fontodi Flaccianello 97

#46 Landmark Chadonnay Overlook 98

#69 Calera Chardonnay 98
 

The Palliser Estate Pinot Noir 99 just won the trophy for best pinot noir at the prestigious Sydney Wine Competition, with the Sauvignon Blanc 2000 taking a gold medal as well.  These wines not only provide good drinking but excellent value.
