Fire Up The Barbie…

Our group members asked for lighter whites and reds for the summer, so my first thought was, "what wines are great for grilling?" My mind went to Australia. So, put on your boots, we're headed to the Land Down Under to taste three amazing wines!

We'll start the tasting in Tasmania, with a rare and exotic 92-point bottle-fermented Sparkling rosé made from Chardonnay and Pinot noir. Then we'll visit Oz's premium region for Riesling - the Eden Valley - to taste a classic dry version. Lastly, we'll switch to red, to taste Australia's answer to France's Rhone Valley  - a fresh, herbal 91-point Grenache.

Wines for this tasting will be sold through wine.com and the cost is as follows:

WINES $75 + SHIPPING $20* + TASTING $30 = $125*

*Shipping with wine.com is additional, however, if you join their Stewardship program, it costs just $5 a month ($59 a year). I strongly recommend everyone in the group sign up, as the program pays for itself after three orders!
