Tasmania wine night!

Join Karen and myself for (Mostly) Tasmania wine night dinner at Nice Matin. Tasmania is one of Australia’s coolest and most distinctive wine regions, with a maritime climate and long growing season particularly well suited to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Production is small, and many of the island’s best wines are made in limited quantities, making Tasmanian wines surprisingly difficult to find in the U.S. We’ll start with a Derwent Valley Chardonnay from Lowestoft, followed by two Tasmanian Pinot Noirs: Sailor Seeks Horse from the far-southern Huon Valley and Glaetzer-Dixon’s Rêveur. We’ll then move to our one non-Tasmanian wine, a red Sciacarello from Corsica. We’ll finish back in Tasmania with Stefano Lubiana’s Derwent Valley Syrah. While most Australians call the grape Shiraz, Tasmanian producers often use Syrah, reflecting the cooler-climate, more restrained and savory style of the wines they make. Nice Matin is located on the corner of W. 79th and Amsterdam Ave. Here is a link to their menu: Nice Matin Dinner Menu \\ The cost of this event is $38 and is for the cost of the wines.

Just a reminder of our usual rules: You will also have to pay the cost of your food (plus 33% for tax and tip). You will be expected to order at least 2 dishes (an appetizer and a main, or main and dessert) to help support the restaurant. Please read and understand the group's cancellation policy. If you take spot, then cancel, and no one else takes the spot, you will not receive a refund or credit. No refunds or credits will be given for no-shows or…
