Australian Wine Tasting with Jon Ross, MW
April 24 2024 | 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM5 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901
We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome back our friend and former employee Jon Ross. Since leaving Stage Left and Catherine Lombardi, Jon went on to work in and lead several notable wine programs, including at 11 Madison Park and The Rockwell Restaurant Group in Australia. He passed the prestigious Master Sommelier examination. He makes his own wine in Australia.
He and his wife Jane Lopez (a wine expert in her own right), launched Legend Imports to and are now importing great Australian wines into the USA. Jane and Jon also wrote the must-have book on contemporary Australian wine, “How to Drink Australian.”
We will gather at 6:30 with some welcome hors d’Ouevres. At 7 PM, we will sit down to a guided tasting and panel discussion with Jon, Mark and Francis.
We will look at 8 wines in the tasting, including Shiraz, Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Riesling of course but also more unusual varieties like Tupelo Gentil…all from producers new to this market. You won’t be disappointed!
