Good Hermitage is always majestic. Slow to mature, very deep in colour, magnificently and hauntingly savoury rather than sweet and flirtatious, the quintessential Syrah – cuttings from which now flourish all over Australia in very different forms labelled Shiraz.

Dead Arm is a vine disease caused by the fungus Eutypa Lata that randomly affects vineyards all over the world. Often affected vines are severely pruned or replanted. One half, or an 'arm' of the vine slowly becomes reduced to dead wood. That side may be lifeless and brittle, but the grapes on the other side, while low yielding, display amazing intensity!

Each Grand Tasting, we seek to cultivate our enjoyment of wine—honing our palates, educating our senses, sharing anecdotes about the evening’s wines, and savoring the occasional recollection of a bottle consumed long ago

But the best part of the Grand Tasting might just be the questions we get to ask. For this iteration we have chosen wines that will help us inquire: what is the personality of a wine, and how might the personalities of several wines be compared?

Is personality, as we apply that word to wine, the manifestation of climate, soil, and season? Is it perhaps an extension of the personality of the grape grower or winemaker? Or is it an expression of yet more mysterious and ephemeral qualities? We can say this much without reservation: the bottles we’ve chosen are well-suited to the encouragement of lively and entertaining conversation, so join us!

*You do not have to be a wine expert to join us- we're just here to have fun!
