Northern Hemisphere vs. Southern Hemisphere Print
Thursday, 26 June 2008, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Chelsea Club, 236 Metcalfe (at Somerset)

The so-called “flying winemakers”, travelling back and forth between the hemispheres with the changing seasons, can apply their skills year round. Is this changing the world of wines? We will put this to the test by pitting five northern hemisphere Cabernet Sauvignons against five of their southern counterparts. The last flight will see a how a 2004 Dominus will stand up to the competitors. The Cabernet Sauvignons have been carefully selected from Vintages releases over the past 6 months and represent eight countries on five continents.

Not to leave the whites out, we will challenge two southern hemisphere Rieslings to see if they can match the elegance of two of their northern counterparts.
