Event Details
Guests of Geja’s Café, 340 W. Armitage, will enjoy the exciting wines of Australia during the “The Wines Down Under” Wine Festival.
“Over the last decade, Australia has stepped out of its comfort zone by not only experimenting with but successfully producing a variety of worldly grapes. They’re growing grapes once never thought possible and doing it well! Our two month celebration of Australia’s bold efforts and success will feature classic Australian varieties in addition to some newcomers such as Vermintino, Tempranillo and even sparkling Shiraz. It’s always exciting to showcase and introduce wine drinkers to something fresh. Something inspiring and off the beaten path” says Blake Farnsworth, Geja’s Wine Buyer.
