While enjoying a live band recently, I had the usual feeling of "why don't I get off my arse and go to more live events!". I then realised that I'd missed a few tasting events recently due to a busy schedule. In an effort to get myself (and anyone else who might be in the same boat) "in the mood", I'm posting an interview Mick and I did at a Clare Valley tasting event a little while ago.
The interview is with Andrew Wood, producer of Divine: Food & Wine, a very good, independent magazine.

If you don't get to many tastings, I highly recommend them. I'm talking about the smaller ones held more often than you might think around most capital cities. This one brought together over two dozen producers from the Clare Valley in South Australia. I think it sold out but there was plenty of room and no lines and was well worth the 40 bucks admission (we actually got in free though which was great).
Any inspired Australian listeners might want to check out the interactive Australian Wine Events Calendar I put together under the "resources" heading in the top menu. You can either browse though it from its page or add it to your own Google Calendar and have it automatically updated. Most events are click-able and some even have maps attached to them. It's just something I created for my own use and thought I'd make it public. Hope you find it useful.
Anyway, that's it for this week.
