Beyond the Plonk: Australian Gems @ Brooklyn Wine Exchange (Brooklyn, NY)

with Jonathan Ross, importer and co-author of How To Drink Australian

From Brooklyn Wine Exchange: If we’re gonna do a class featuring some of our favorite wines in Australia, you better believe we’re gonna find the guy who literally wrote the book on the subject. Jonathan Ross acted as Head Somm at Eleven Madison Park starting in 2012 before moving to Australia to join the internationally lauded Rockpool Group and secure his Master Sommelier certification. While clearly no stranger to the likes of Grand Cru Burgundy and First Growth Bordeaux, he became infatuated with the unsung potential of Aussie wines, driving him and his wife, Jane Lopes, to write “the definitive modern guide to Australian wine”: How To Drink Australian. All this to say, in the parlance of the Aussies, “we’ve got a f*cking legend in the house.”

Love Australian Wine and BBQ? We’re having a Sausage Sizzle!
What is Sausage Sizzle?
It’s an Aussie tradition; a casual cookout held in public places to raise money for charities, schools, children’s sports and so on. It’s bare-bones usually – a grilled sausage, lovingly called a “snag”, white bread and tomato sauce (actually ketchup).
When Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross founded Legend 6yrs ago, they set out to not only import Australian wine but a bit of Australian culture too.
Sausage Sizzle and Wine Party @ Decant with PLAYTE cooking and Jon pouring that good Aussie juice.
