“Many of us will have a set of assumptions and clichés about image, class, price and value of wine. One person will tell you that such and such a bottle is far superior to another, but you could still hate it. Depending on your palate, a wine bottle may be presented covered with gold embossed labels, and more gongs than a Tibetan health spa and still do nothing for you. So, what can the sane, normal thinking person make of this often confusing world of wine, can one survive being awash in this liquid world where lyrical sounding wine buffs dribble on about how this wine should taste of marigolds, pencil shavings and cut grass. If those who enjoy and respect this alcoholic beverage as a healthy, diverse, complex, food enhancing drink that reflects its origins faithfully and honestly, and you wish to raise your appreciation game, then the place to come is Secret Valley on Wednesday from 10.30am until 6pm, George Kassianos, Sommelier, wine writer, and the least pretentious man to hold a wine glass promises to lend absolute clarity to any confusion. The day will cover history, viticulture, grape varieties, the ageing and storage of wine, there will be extensive tasting and analysis plus a session on the matching of wine and food.”
Lunch (with wine) is included plus the opportunity to sample sixteen premier world class wines throughout the day.
