Bass Phillip Wine Dinner w/ Phillip Jones
|
|
|
The founder and current winemaker Phillip Jones commenced his career as a research engineer. After becoming a passionate winemaker, Phillip has maintained a scientific approach to his winemaking, and as a result, wines at Bass Phillip are handcrafted with rigorous quality control. However the story doesn't end there, the real essence of Bass Phillip’s winemaking is to allow the forces of nature to maintain control. Minimal human intervention is practiced wherever possible – no irrigation/pesticides/fertilisers, minimal pumping/ filtration, natural yeast, no fining agents.
Phillip will be joining us on the night for a special menu paired with a selection of Bass Phillip's wonderful wines.
Tuesday November 15, 2016 at 6:00pm
$85 Members, $95 Guests
