Child Cancer Foundation French wine tasting
7:45 - 9:45 pmVenue
Amora Hotel, 70 Wakefield Street, Wellington, 6011. See map for directions.
Cost
$40.00
Details
This tasting was postponed last year. It is now happening on Thursday 9 May at the Amora hotel. Tickets are $40. There are more details on the attached flyer.
In addition to the wines we managed to get our hands on last year, we also now have:
- Stony Ridge Larose 2000 (1) bottle – A Bordeaux cabernet sauvignon dominant blend from the Waiheke Island producer. Larose is widely regarded as NZ’s best take on a Bordeaux blend. And it would want to be. If you buy this from the vineyard cellar, it will set you back an eye watering $320 for a bottle of the 2000 vintage. We managed to get hold of this little gem courtesy of a generous donation from a family who have a child with cancer.
- JK (John Key) Pinot Noir 2009 (1) bottle – There’s nothing our PM can’t do….
- Junction Road Point Noir (2) bottles – Southern Hawkes Bay pinot noir made by former All Black prop John Ashworth.
