International Riesling Challenge - Canberra

[The fish]

Canberra Ladies and Gents,

FYi - I have no connection with this event - I'll be partaking at the public tasting session early on the Saturday morning. Last year's challenge was awesome. Sore head at the end of the day. Looking forward to catching up with other CBR folk there.

Cheers
Matt

Good to catch up with the most of the regulators at this event. Top stuff!

A lot more hits than misses ( Czech riesling and the 04 Petaluma come to mind) but it was great to calibrate the palate for the 14' vintage. Pikes, Wilson vineyard, some other regulars - riesling freak, bests et al stood out from the crowd.

Cheers
Matt
