Food and Wine Pairing Tip #1
Try pairing saltcrusted red meat
with a tannic young red.
The effect on the wine can
be profound.
Food and Wine Pairing Tip #2
Instead of pairing flavours , try pairing intensity. Delicate foods typically go better with delicately flavoured wines .
Western Australia produces less than 5% of Australia’s wine grape crush, yet from this produces 20% of Australia’s premium wines.
Most wines shows in Australia
use the 20 point judging scale.
Of which anything below 14/20 is considered faulty and anything over 18.5/20 is a Gold Medal.
Almost all wine grape vineyards lie
between the latitudes of 30 and
50 degrees, northern or southern hemisphere.

Your words
Once again, Anna and I thoroughly enjoyed the ‘Bootfull of Wine’ course. It was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into this course and I felt all aspects of it (presentation, content, wines tasted and length of course) were very good. I knew a little bit about Italian wine but now feel a lot more knowledgeable whilst also having been made aware of the complexity and vastness of the topic!
Helen Morgan
It was such a well-executed evening, all the feedback I've received has been really positive and everyone has commented on what a phenomenal job you did!
I'm really happy with the result and I won't hesitate to pass on your details to anyone planning that sort of event, so thanks again.
I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Basics class taught by Maurice earlier this month. He is an enthusiastic and very enjoyable lecturer.
Charles N. White
I just wanted to write and say thank you once again for a wonderful wine tasting session on Friday. You fulfilled the brief for the afternoon perfectly and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Meg Ritchie
Thank you for the opportunity to be involved in the extensive 3 day WSET 2 course, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Thanks for Saturday’s course I thoroughly enjoyed it. Despite the fact it was a basic course I felt I learnt a lot. You have a very relaxed style of passing on information. Thanks again.
Russell Dronfield
Thanks for contributing to what was a very enjoyable evening.
Food, service and wine education was fantastic! I’m looking forward to arranging another one perhaps towards Summer.
