Overview

The hospo legends behind Darlinghurst mainstay Love, Tilly Devine are teaming up with celebrated sommelier Dan Simmons (Grafted Wines) for the next in its Tilly Takeover series, taking place on Tuesday, March 25 from 6pm. This month's wine night theme is 'things on skins', a celebration of natty wines in all their glory.

On the night, Simmons will be pouring a primo selection of low-fi and skin-contact wines from around Australia. Expect to see labels like Sabi Wabi's Sugi Semillion, Jilly Wine Co's Lone Ranger Chardonnay, Momento Mori's Fistful of Flowers Vermentino blend, drops by producer Frankly, plus Bob and Simmons' own Balmy Nights Amber. You can nab wines by the glass, bottle or as a flight of five for $65.

Complementing the wines are two menu specials, courtesy of the restaurant's Head Chef Brent Wilson. Created to match the vibe of the night, punters can look forward to golden fried potato skins topped with cashew cream, chives and chilli oil, or pork crackling bites with aioli and Old Bones hot sauce.

Get in early for happy hour from 5pm-6pm, with $4 gildas, $8 sardine sambos, $7 pilsners and $15 negronis on offer. Bookings for the night are encouraged, but not required.
