Dinner with the Winemakers

The Oak Barrel is excited to invite you to the 2011 Dinner with the Winemakers on Thursday 8th September.

Hosting the dinner will be two of Australia’s top winemakers and heads of the NSW & VIC Wine Industry Associations, David Lowe & Chris Pfeiffer.  They both have very impressive biographies (attached below) and a passion for winemaking which is hard to ignore.

Each winemaker will personally present their icon wines and accompanying these first class wines will be an elegant sit down, 3 course dinner hosted by our guests in the Cellar Room.    Take the opportunity to get to know the team at the Oak Barrel a little better, and have the chance to get up close and personal and engage with two of Australia’s Wine Industry leaders.

There is some seriously good wine on the menu, some of which is only available in very limited quantities at the cellar door.  Here is your chance to quiz David & Chris on everything you ever wanted to know about wine from NSW & VIC, and more specifically taste their own releases from Mudgee & Rutherglen.

Last year was a resounding success, an intimate evening between friends, and this year is only going to be better.  Don’t miss out.
