| 02:00 pm | The Great Chardonnay Comeback Class
Australia has a world wide reputation for making big, oaky, buttery Chardonnays that have fallen out of fashion in the last 10 years. Winemakers are striking back with new styles that are subtle and refined and reflect the area they come from.
In this class we taste 6 examples of this new style of Chardonnay. We also benchmark against the ancestral home of Chardonnay by tasting a Burgundy.Let us guide you through the tasting with great food matches. If you love Chardonnay this is the class for you BUT if you hate Chardonnay this is also the class that will change your mind forever!!
The price is $65 which includes 7 wines, handouts, light bites and tuition. For more information please contact gill@winehouse.com.au
