    Del Mundo brings a diverse international portfolio of wines, liquors and spirits to NZ with a hand-crafted portfolio from a myriad of wine regions across the world.

    This will be our annual classic European tasting, showcasing some superior and unique wines. It’s an opportunity to compare some classy Proseccos and taste a number of aged Italian and Spanish wines, with a particular highlight being the 2008 Faustino 1st Tempranillo which normally retails at $105.

    All the wines will be at discounted prices, with the majority in the $20s. Lucas is an engaging and informative presenter and this is an evening not to be missed!
