The Australian wine roadshow is rolling in Cork's direction once again this year

The Australian wine roadshow is rolling in Cork's direction once again this year. In Fitzpatricks Silver Springs Hotel on Tuesday, March 7th from 5.30 p.m. until 8 p.m., a bountiful selection of Aussie beauties from about 15 leading importers will be uncorked - cool Rieslings, classic Coonawarra Cabernets, rich Barossa Shirazes and much more.

"`An Austra-Lee Vinous Banquet!" writes organiser John McDonnell, quickly adding "God, that's dreadful, isn't it?," lest pun-watchers feel like lodging letters of complaint. Tickets £6 from O'Donovans and Galvins off-licences.
