Australian Regional Wine Immersion Program – This educational program aims to provide members of the trade with up-to-date, detailed and relevant information on Australian regional wine. The program is being offered in 8 cities* across the US and consists of six two-hour sessions, each designed to compare the regional expressions of the major grape varieties and to explore the lesser known corners of Australia’s viticultural landscape. Mark Davidson (Market Development Manager) and Suzanne Barros (Market Development Officer) have now completed Sessions 1 through 4 in their relevant markets. There are only two of the six sessions left, taking place in February and March 2010 respectively. Feedback has been excellent with attendees complimenting both the concept of the program and the structure of the sessions. For more information on the Australian Regional Wine Immersion Program, or to get a comprehensive report email us at usa@wineaustralia.com.
*Cities: New York, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Seattle
