Did you know that all you really need to know about wine is whether you like what’s in your glass or not?
Somehow, though, there’s this whole wine language that makes people feel intimidated, self-conscious or just plain silly if they haven’t mastered it. Screw that.
I bloody love making wine and drinking wine, and I want you to feel totally comfortable in your opinion of a wine.
My squashed grapes fermented evening aims to demystify some of those words—by tasting a few different wines and honing in on what actually matters. We’ll also take a little dive into how wine is made, and then we’ll head to the winery and see with our own eyes what’s really happening.
Now—I’m not qualified to teach things, so there’s no A4 certificate here. But I do have a Bachelor of Wine Science, so I know all the words. And I co-own and run a cellar door, so I see first hand what that language does to some people: it can shut you down instantly, and suddenly it’s hard to ask questions about what’s in your glass.

Limited seats to keep the space feeling safe.
All questions welcome.
P.S. We really don’t use the “wine language” much in our cellar door. I’d usually rather hear about your uncle’s new dog to be perfectly honest… but if you’ve got the chance, I do occasionally like a little wine chat.
