Our big news this month is the arrival of stock from our agreement to import and distribute several of Corton André's great Burgundies!  As lovers of world class Chardonnays, we have a particular interest in Bourgogne blancs, and particularly Chablis, so we are quite excited to have products from two of Corton André's houses:  Marie André, and Chateau de Savigny.

From Marie André, we have secured 2011 Bourgogne Blanc, as well as their Grand Vin 2011 Chablis.  Both are exquisite wines, drinking perfectly already and despite recent currency moves (in the wrong direction!), represent extraordinary value.

But Burgundy is not known solely for its whites, and from Chateau de Savigny we have arranged a supply of of a very special Bourgogne Rouge, the 2011 Clos du Chateau.
    All these wines are now in our warehouses and will be available through our sales staff immediately.  And the good news doesn't end there.  We are still in negotiation with a couple of other Burgundy chateaux, so wath this space!

Vivace Restaurant in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton has somehow managed to talk David "Duck" Anderson into attending a special dinner showcasing his wines this month.
    This is such a rare occasion that if you have any interest in this iconic brand, you should rush to not miss out.
    The dinner is being held on August 14th at 6.30pm, where Italian head chef Davide Ferraro has planned a 4-course dinner to complement some of Wild Duck Creek's more interesting wines.  In addition to David's Little White Duck Viognier, the Yellow Hammer Hill Shiraz Malbec, "The Blend" Cabernet Merlot and premium Springflat Shiraz, David has promised to bring along "something special" from his cellar.
    With only 24 seats available and a cost per head of just $149, you'll need to call the restaurant asap on 03 95969511, or email on info@vivace.com.au right away!
