QUEENSLAND UNCORKED Celebrating Queensland Wine
Dinner: Thursday 8 October 2009
Join AustCham and Trade Queensland Hong Kong and Macau for an evening of award winning Queensland wines matched with delicious Chinese cuisine.
Sip and savour world class Chardonnays, luscious Merlots, a supple Shiraz or two, and classic Cabernet Sauvignons as our special guest winemakers teach you how to match Australian wine with the flavours from the Canton, Sichuan and Shanghai regions.
Renowned wine experts Simon Tam and Eddie McDougall, of the Independent Wine Centre and South China Morning Post fame, are well known for bringing cutting edge practical knowledge to the local wine scene and will be on hand to guide you.
