Acccolades for top wine lists
The Terrace Restaurant at the Country Club Tasmania in Launceston has just been recognised as having one of the most outstanding wine lists in the world, being awarded two coveted goblets in the international Wine Spectator magazine’s annual wine list awards.
The Terrace is one of only seven restaurants in Australia to receive two goblets, known as the Best of Award of Excellence -- and only 748 two goblet awards were given world-wide.
Amongst the many other the bottles featured on The Terrace's wine list is a large range of iconic Australian Shiraz, including Penfolds Grange dating back to 1971, Greenock Creek Roenfeldt Road Shiraz, Grant Burge Meshach and Jim Barry’s The Armagh 98.
If that has got you licking your lips, you might be interested to know that The Terrace has got a couple of great events coming up soon that will showcase some of the finest wines in Australia.
On August 16, Penfolds Grange winemaker Peter Gago will host a dinner featuring premium Penfolds wines matched to an outstanding degustation menu.
And on September 27, Stephen Henschke, will host the final in The Terrace’s wine dinner series for the year. The Henschke family is one of the longest-established names in South Australia’s Barossa region.
Another Australian Best of Awards of Excellence for 2007 accolade went to the Charcoal Grill on the Hill, which is located in the Melbourne suburb of Kew. The steak is good at Charcoal Grill on the Hill, but the wine list is fantastic: with more than 700 well priced offerings, this is a restaurant with a passionate commitment to wine.
Other Melbourne winners were Circa, a popular hangout for foodies in St Kilda; Southbank's Number 8 Restaurant & Wine Bar in the Crown complex on the Yarra River, boasting a wine list numbering 888 choices (something to suit everyone’s taste and budget); and Vin in Prahan.
The Lake House at Daylesford, a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of The World group in Victoria’s spa region, was also a winner, along with Marylands Country House, a charming 1920’s property in the Yarra Valley.
