Meet, Sip and Swallow
Well-adjusted Bondi small venues the Shop and Wine Bar and The Corner House are joining forces to put on fortnightly sessions with Australian winemakers, where you get to hear about the vintages from the winemakers themselves, try a few, have some snacks and take some home.
Overview
So let's play a word association game: Bondi.
...
Bet you didn't say "boutique wine tasting," did you? Or "canapes," either. But hey, just as Freud isn't only a laddish backpacker's attempt at a local accent in describing his complexion after a day at the beach, there's more to this particular eastern suburb than Tony Abbott's attire of choice.
Well-adjusted Bondi small venues the Shop and Wine Bar and The Corner House are joining forces to put on fortnightly sessions with Australian winemakers, where you get to hear about the vintages from the winemakers themselves, try a few, have some snacks and take some home. They're beach-casual sessions, with no expectation that you'll swirl your glass and talk about gooseberries and barrel maturation unless you really want to, so it's a great way for beginners to find out a bit about how wine works in terms of palate and food matching and how it's made, as well as an opportunity for wine dorks to get the lowdown on the best of local practice. The next two sessions are with Victorian winemaker, Luke Lambert (Heathcote and the Yarra) on the 16th, and Ocean8 (Mornington Peninsula) on the 30th.
