The Australian wine roadshow is rolling in Cork's direction once again this year. In Fitzpatricks Silver Springs Hotel on Tuesday, March 7th from 5.30 p.m. until 8 p.m., a bountiful selection of Aussie beauties from about 15 leading importers will be uncorked - cool Rieslings, classic Coonawarra Cabernets, rich Barossa Shirazes and much more.
"`An Austra-Lee Vinous Banquet!" writes organiser John McDonnell, quickly adding "God, that's dreadful, isn't it?," lest pun-watchers feel like lodging letters of complaint. Tickets £6 from O'Donovans and Galvins off-licences.
