Vancouver, BC | Celebrate in Aussie style with local wine mavens Michelle Bouffard and Michaela Morris. Paying homage to the land down under, house wine is joining forces with Wine Australia to present three unique, Australian wine tastings. The series will take tasters on a tour of Australia’s diverse wine regions, unique blends and unexpected styles. Read about them after the jump…

REGIONAL ROUND-UP

Celebrate Australia Day by sipping over 60 different wines from 18 different regions. Revisit familiar favourites like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Hunter Valley as well as the highly acclaimed cooler areas such as Margaret River and Adelaide Hills. You will also have a chance to discover lesser-known regions including Heathcote and the Yarra Valley. A great way to compare and contrast wines from cooler pockets with those from warmer climes.

Date: Friday, January 28th, 2011
Time: 7:00pm – 9:30pm
Venue: Buschlen Mowatt Gallery, Main Floor, 1445 West Georgia St., Vancouver, BC

DOWN UNDER MIX UP

Beyond single varietal Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, Australian wine country often explores unique blends of grape varieties. Join house wine for a taste beyond the classic Cab/Shiraz combos and explore traditional red and white Bordeaux blends, Rhône inspired threesomes of Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvèdre as well as the fashionable union of Shiraz/Viognier.

Date: Friday, April 29th, 2011
Time: 7:00pm – 9:30pm

SUMMER SIPPERS

Australia crafts plenty of full-bodied reds to keep you warm throughout the winter but don’t overlook the country’s refreshing wines as the weather warms up. Tasters at Summer Sippers will be greeted with a thirst-quenching glass of bubble before delving into an exciting selection of crisp whites, bold rosés and lighter reds. Expect plenty of patio-worthy, barbeque friendly wines to keep you cool and sated in the summer months ahead. Don’t miss this wrap-up blow-out summer party.
