A informal event outside on Gaye' Randolph's deck. A variety of small plates served with new world wines .
A good event for members to bring prospective members as guests.
There will be a selection of wines from South Africa, Australia and New Zealand including:
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2016: the iconic New Zealand Marlborough.
Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay 2014: a New Zealand chardonnay that is every bit as good as a 1er Cru Puligny-Montrachet, and similar in style with stunning freshness, length and minerality.
Rocking Horse Cape White, Thorne & Daughters, 2014: a blend of chenin balnc, roussanne, semillon and chardonnay from the Western Cape, South Africa. Broad and rich, with good acidity and tannin.
Raats Family, Cabernet Franc, 2010: a 100% cab franc from Stellenbosch. Intense bouquet of blackberry, scorched earth and soy.
Sadie Family, Pofadder 2014: cinsault based wine from Swartland, South Africa. Fresh strawberry, red fruits, taut and crisp. Fabulous taste.

Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2012: highly rated, classic NZ pinot from Central Otago. Dry, medium body with raspberries, pepper spice flavors. Impressive balance of ripe acidity and fine tannins; exceptional length.
