Wine Meats Cheese

Overview

Drinking vino, snacking on dairy foods and devouring gourmet salumi is most people's idea of a great afternoon — and, come Saturday, April 6, it's Gerard's Bar's as well. Between midday and 2pm, the Fortitude Valley venue is hosting a wine-tasting arvo with bites to go with it, all for $45.

At Wine Meats Cheese, you'll enjoy all of the above, with more than a dozen tipples from Bacchus, Naked Brunch, Mezzanine and Deja Vu in the spotlight. Seafood specialists Tuesday Foods are also involved, so prepare for a few sardines and anchovies as part of the spread.

It's the latest event in what the James Street bar has previously called a "wine adventure", but however they badge it, it's an ace excuse to discover new drops while feasting on artisan cheese and charcuterie. The usual advice applies: arrive with a thirst for top wine and a taste for the perfect accompaniments.
