Picture this. you're
poolside at the Roosevelt, impeccably dressed, yet totally approachable.
A balmy sunset descends beyond the posterized palms. Just
ahead, shucked oysters on ice and middle earth's lush fruits beckon to
be savored.
Who could pull of this triumvirate of fashion, food and fantasy except
Ian Blackburn, the visionary founder of Learn About Wine?! Step bravely
into the sensory world of this inspired wine educator and behold
mysteries of the vine become untangled, tannins are tallied and blush
tones of bruised berry precisely identified.
On Monday, 12 June, the diverse landscape of New Zealand wines unfolds
at the newly democratic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel accompanied by Hog
Island Oysters and Cervena Venison. All the glamour without the snotty
attitude. So coif your mullet, assemble your poshest summer accessories
and embark on this stylish journey.
