GERTRUDE STREET ENOTECA
Meet the Importer No.1: Robert Walters of Bibendum Wine Co.
Tuesday June 6th @ 7.00pm
$185/pp
Rob Walters gained notoriety as the only person in wine to come out of the www boom on top. Having founded internet wine store Wine Planet, Rob manoeuvred himself out and is now putting his considerable skills to the use of good instead of evil by promoting many fabulous European wine artisans in Australia. His portfolio extends from Spain right through to Germany and encompasses many great estates as well as tiny producers, so it will be a chance to extract a few good stories about the highs and lows of being an importer as well as looking at some great wines from his portfolio.
Our first “Meet the Importer” dinner will highlight some of Rob’s Champagne from grower house Egly Ouriet, white Burgundy from Henri Germain and then a bracket of the rare & remarkable wines of Ghislaine Barthod from the commune of Chambolle Musigny (2002 Premier Cru’s Aux Beaux Bruns, Les Chatelots, Les Charmes, Les Cras & Les Fuees)will create a great forum for terroir & Pinot Noir.
Brigitte is fired up about some wonderful Burgundian dishes – she’s thinking roasted muscovy duck and Armagnac soaked prunes with braised savoy cabbage and celeriac puree to accompany Rob’s wines, so we recommend you book quickly! Only 12 places available…
