Around the World in 80 Wines #8
Who was James Busby and why do they call it Shiraz?
Join us for part 8 of our 10 part wine seminar series where we uncork the stories behind 80 iconic wines from the world’s most celebrated regions.
In the 1830's a young viticulturist and politician from Scotland made his way to the far reaches of the British Empire in the South Pacific. Among the important items he brought with him on his journey were cuttings of wine grapes from the warm mediterranean region of the Southern Rhône on a hunch they might thrive in the warm Australian farmlands. His hunch paid off and Australia (and New Zealand) have since grown to become world class wine regions. Join us for the story of James Busby's founding of two incredible wine regions on the other side of the world and the wines that captivate enthusiasts around the globe.
Join in anytime! Each seminar stands alone so if you've missed one or more of the series segments, you won't be lost. We'll be offering this series on a rotating basis so you'll be able to catch up on the other stops in the near future.
