The Australian Wine Maker Of The Year Is Coming…

Coming this September… because how often do you get the chance to sit down to a 4-course degustation with Australia’s best?

When James Halliday, known wine ponce and vino-lord (more influential that our Prime Minister we’d wager) anoints his ‘Winemaker of the Year’, this person should be deserving of the sort of ticket tape parade in their home town usually only reserved for when a Christmas pageant of b-grade celebrity.

This person currently is Sarah Crowe of Yarra Yering in the Yarra Valley in Victoria. So she’s not a local, but when it comes to wine, we know no parochialism; instead we simply stand up an applaud people creating the good stuff for us. As are 2KW Bar & Restaurant, as they have invited Sarah Crowe to host an exclusive wine evening that takes a leisurely stroll through all of the Rhone varietals Sarah work with.

That’s a stroll though a range which earned Ms Crowe a near record 99/100 points for two of her Yarra Yering 2014 reds and a further fours marked 98/100, with the Yarra Yering Carrodus 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon also voted best cabernet of the year. Even more astounding, is these were all a part of Sarah’s first full vintage with Yarra Yering. Can you spot the talent?

We’d like to note that Sarah is the first woman to receive this coveted award, and as such we’ll be giving a very special Glam Adelaide salute to her, ditching our usual wine ‘sippy cup’ we take to these events and really dressing up for the occasion.

Tickets for this event are selling fast and include a 4 course dinner with matched Yarra Yering wines. It goes without saying. Book early to avoid the crushing disappointment of missing out.

2KW Bar & Restaurant will host Sarah Crowe for their Yarra Yering Wine Evening on Wednesday, September 28. Tickets are $160. To book, call 8212 5511 or [email protected]
