SUMMARY:[VIC] Alternate Riesling Universe: A Tasting
DESCRIPTION:*** SOLD OUT *** \n  \nRiesling and Germany are synonyms in the wine world\, with an identity so inextricably linked that one can hardly be mentioned without the other. \nYet\, as the price of German Riesling (and Old World examples in general) goes up and the quantities available go down\, these classic wines may well be out of reach or unavailable for some Australian venues. \nBut as sommeliers and wine buyers we need to find affordable replacements from somewhere. So where do we go for quality alternatives? \nThe rest of the wine universe of course! \nJoin Sommeliers Australia’s Liam O’Brien (Cutler & Co. / Athletes of Wine) and Tim O’Donnell (William Angliss Institute of TAFE) as they visit an ‘alternate Riesling universe’. Compare German examples vs. New World offerings across four brackets of varying sweetness; taste and discuss the regional\, stylistic\, price and quality options that open up for somms and buyers once they look beyond the Old World and explore what else is out there. \n  \nTO BOOK:\n\nBookings are essential and will be taken until 4pm\, Sunday 4 February\, unless booked out prior.\n  \n  ⇒ Sommeliers Australia Members – $30\n      To access Members priced ticket please login to your Membership Account before selecting tickets. \n  ⇒ Non-Members – $60

SUMMARY:[VIC] Organics – Why the Fuss? : A Masterclass
DESCRIPTION: * FREE event for Members *\n  \nThe world of wine has seen a significant increase in the popularity of organic farming and production over the past two decades\, both in Australia and overseas. \nThis rise in interest is being driven equally by consumers – looking for cleaner\, ‘greener’ alternatives to conventionally farmed wines – and the viticulturalists and winemakers themselves. Some are motivated by the beneficial environmental follow-on effects of organic wine production\, while others see marked improvements in the quality and consistency of what they are producing. \nYet\, while finding organic wines on a wine list or in retail has never been easier\, confusion still prevails about what the label ‘organic’ really means: \nAs a natural product isn’t wine already organic?\nWhat about biodynamic wine?\nIs organic wine the same as natural wine?\nDoes the wine need to be organically certified to be called organic?\nIf the grapes are organically grown\, doesn’t that mean that the wine is organic as well? \n  \nWith so many questions about the how\, why and wherefores surrounding organic wine\, join our Sommeliers Australia hosts and expert panel – Tim Shand (chief winemaker) and Tom Kline (Market Development Manager) from organically certified Voyager Estate\, and guest sommelier Penny Vine (Cutler & Co.) – as they taste high quality organically farmed Chardonnay and Cabernet wines from around the world and deep dive into organic viticulture\, its relationship to quality and the environment\, and discuss “Organics – why the fuss?” \n  \nTICKETS: \n⇒ Sommeliers Australia Members – FREE\, but RSVP is essential\n \n\nTo access the Members FREE ticket\, Sommeliers Australia Members login at sommeliers.com.au\, click the ‘View Available Coupons’ button on the dashboard for their UNIQUE ACCESS CODE. Then proceed to Humanitix and apply the access code on the ticket page to ‘Access hidden tickets’.\n\n⇒ Non-Members – $35 + booking fee \n  \nTO BOOK:\nBookings are essential and will be taken until 4pm\, Monday 7 August\, unless booked out prior. \nCLICK HERE to book your tickets via Humanitix. \n  \n\nAbout Voyager Estate\nWith all fruit grown and meticulously crafted on their property in Margaret River (WA)\, Voyager Estate’s vineyards are now 100% organically certified as of the 2023 harvest.
