It's been over five years since I've hosted a wine event in Australia so I am very excited to announce my Pineapple for a Pinot event to be held back where it all began in 2009... at Fix Wine bar in Sydney, on May 18th.
This event idea all started when I was sent two Pinot's to try and I noticed both were priced at exactly $50. I then got talking to some wino friends of mine, all who seemed to have a $50 bottle or Pinot, or two, lying around and we discussed a simple tasting of these wines to see which we thought was the best for $50.
To cut a short story even shorter, that tasting concept is now my first 'No BS' event since returning to Sydney after a few years in California. Drawing on the growth of the 'shared economy' this is also my first BYO event with all guests kindly asked to bring a bottle of Pinot Noir that has a recommended retail price of $50 (give or take a fiver) that will be shared with the group.
Fix Wine Bar have kindly offered to create a matching four-course dinner for just $95 including our corkage charges
Tickets must be purchased in advance from my Event Brite page here
Seats will be limited to 14 and once you've purchased your ticket I kindly ask that you let me know via email what Pinot you'd like to bring and I'll be keeping a list of wines so that there are little to no double ups. Please also keep in mind that for the event to be fair it is BYO a $50 bottle per person.
I look forward to seeing a few old faces and some new ones as well!
