Wet Dreams 2

Overview

Surry Hills pub The Dolphin is a food and wine favourite at the best of times, but on December 2, it's taking things to the next level, joining forces with Drnks to host its own mini food and booze festival.

Dubbed Wet Dreams 2, it's the second edition of the event — with the first happening in June — and this time it's bigger and better. I know, they all say that, but this time there are double the sessions, much more space and a heap more winemakers.

The event's set to dish up a smorgasbord of great eats and boozy treats, with a pumping soundtrack to match. Over 40 winemakers will be there showing off their finest wares, including a strong South Australian contingent (Ochota Barrels, Jauma and Commune of Buttons — to name a few), Victorian natural winemakers Ephemera Wines and Canberra's Mallaluka. Expect lots of natural, bubbly and skin contact drops.

This time round, the day will be split into two sessions: Wine Geeks (a chilled out session for the more serious wine fans) and Wine Freaks (for those wanting to get a little funky). The second, slightly crazier session, will be taking over the entire venue, too. So you can wander through the Wine Room, Public Bar and Dining Room while you quaff some great drops.

While there's no mention yet of the food, June's drinking snacks came courtesy of Momofuku Seiōbo's Paul Carmichael, Acme's Mitch Orr and Luke Shannon from LP's Quality Meats. So, we're hoping big things will be on offer again this time.
