Sydney's getting this Bordeaux before France... as Cape Mentelle's brings its International Cabernet Tasting back to Sydney for the first time since 2011 – and they're not easing back in gently. This year's lineup includes an exclusive first look at the 2023 Bordeaux vintage before it's even landed here officially. Friday 16 October at Watersedge, Campbell's Stores, harbour views included. $750 gets you a blind tasting across three brackets of local and global Cabernet, Champagne, and a long lunch paired against everything you just drank.

That's a wrap on Fri, 4 Sept.Back to today →
