May is Australian Wine Month. Let’s celebrate by drinking as much as we can (responsibly of course!). And if we are going to be drinking Australian wine, we may as well drink the best.

This time last year we met at one of my fav venues, Merricote, to drink some of the great wines of Australia. We are doing it again this year too. Last year’s dinner was a smash hit, chock full of great wines that showed the diversity and quality that Australia can and does produce.

This time we have a different range of Classic producers but the quality is no less. Check out the proposed line up here:
Grosset Alea Riesling Clare Valley 2014

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling Clare Valley 2014
Sinapius Riesling Gruner/Gris Pipers Brook 2014

Sinapius Chardonnay Pipers Brook 2013
Gembrook Hills Chardonnay Yarra Valley 2014
Grosset Piccadilly Chardonnay Adelaide Hills 2013

Gembrook Hills Pinot Noir Yarra Valley 2012
Hurley Vineyard Hommage Pinot Noir Mornington Peninsula 2012
SinapiusPinot Noir Pipers Brook 2013

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz Heathcote 2013
Mount Horrocks Shiraz Clare Valley 2013

Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling Clare Valley 2014

Why yes, that is an amazing line up. If it changes it will only be in your favour.

The team at Merricote have the line up and are carefully crafting a menu to match the wines we will be enjoying.

Last year we were over subscribed and Bronwyn has vowed to ban me if I try to put that many people around the table again. So don’t leave your run too late. Bookings can be done below, via email or by calling me (Phil) 0418 23 04 82
