Coming Wine Tastings
There are a number of interesting-looking wine tastings coming up:
Vino Fino will present:
* Staff Picks
Tuesday 26th March 6.00pm
Vino Fino, 188 Durham St
$15.00
Rex is away - the staff will play. We'll take a look at a variety of things chosen by Paul, Andrew, Dean and even young Edwyn. No doubt an eclectic mix but should make for an interesting tasting. [Only a few spaces remain.]
* Value
Tuesday 9th April 6.00pm
Vino Fino, 188 Durham St
$15.00
Ten wines served blind in pairs. One will be approximately twice the price of the other. Can you tell the difference? Always a fun and interesting tasting with some surprising results.
* The New Varieties
Tuesday 16th April 6.00pm
Vino Fino, 188 Durham St
$15.00
There are a number of newer varieties appearing from local producers. Tonight we'll take a local example and compare to its European counterpart. Whilst we haven't settled on the exact lineup, look for varieties such as Arneis, Albarino, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Tempranillo ... we'll see what we can find!
* Cuisine Top 10 Chardonnay
Tuesday 23rd April
* Tour de France with Jean-Christophe Poizat
Tuesday 30th April
Bookings for Vino Fino tastings are essential -- phone 365-5134 or email wine@vinofino.co.nz .
Also, Vino is having a sale until Saturday. Most of the serious bargains may have been snapped up by now, though.
The University of Canterbury Wine Club will be having a "Battle of the Aromatics - NZ vs Europe" tasting on April 26. Further details have yet to be announced.
