Riesling & RnB

Overview

At Cake Wines' latest excuse for a cheeky vino or several, three misconceptions are in the spotlight. The first two relate to their tipple of choice for the evening, dispelling the ideas that all Rieslings taste the same and that all Rieslings are sweet. The third? It's one we've all become accustomed to, even if we haven't thought about it in-depth: that jazz is the only appropriate wine-drinking soundtrack.

Calling their February 24 shindig Riesling & RnB, that's just what they'll be serving up. Attendees can expect a particular white varietal in all of its guises, and rhythm and blues tunes spun by DJs Shantan and Phat Controlla. And, while you're sipping and listening to RnB beats, sommelier Samantha Payne and Cakes Wines' Glen Cassidy will talk through the ins and outs of Riesling — including sparkling versions.

Taking place at Cake Wines Cellar Door, the fun kicks off at 6pm, with tickets costing $30. Wine is included in the price, with additional drinks available to purchase. And, with demonstrating the natural relationship between wine, food and music also on the agenda, you'll be able to buy bites to eat as well.
