Wine Australia’s Stickie (Sweet Wine) Tastings
Tuesday 6th December: Hayfield Manor Hotel, Cork
Wednesday 7th December: Ely Bar and Brassiere, IFSC, Custom House Quay, D1
With a hell of a lot of acidity expected in next month's budget, Wine Australia's Johnny McDonnell (right in pic) reckons he has just the thing to balance it up!
"A touch of sweetness is in order to, as Mary P would say, make the medicine go down.
So we are hosting two delicious sweet wine tastings in December, on the 6th in Cork and Dublin on the 7th.
Affectionately known as “Stickies” Down-under, the story of the Australian wine world is steeped in fortified and dessert wine making. Often tricky to sell, the one time that they do find favour is around Christmas.
So perfect timing for you to join us and try a range of these wines from Australia.
Joining us to lead the presentation duties is Chris Pfeiffer (left in pic above), owner and wine maker of Pfeiffer Wines in the Rutherglen. A regular visitor to Ireland with a huge passion for these wine styles, Chris is the ideal person to take us on this sweet journey.
So whether you have a sweet tooth, are looking for a different present for the wine lover in your life or on occasion you’d just prefer to pour (instead of make) your dessert, this is the tasting for you."
The cost is €20 per person, which includes the tasting and tasty nibbles afterwards. Only 30 places at each event so please book your passage early.
