Edmonton Australian Wine Club

The Edmonton Australian Wine Club is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year.Your committee has organised a creative dinner at Normands on January 26th from 6:30 pm.A feature of the evening is a wonderful dinner menu in the wonderful warm ambiance of Normands, and an opportunity to sample some of the best wines in the club’s cellar to accompany each course. There will also be food options for allergy sufferers.
The menu includes Tiger prawns and scallops served with a piquant oriental drizzle, Quail and Pheasant consomme,  Arctic Char/Char, Braised Lamb Shanks, Sticky date pudding, tea, herbal infusions and coffee with Anzac biscuits.

In addition to the starter wine, and the sticky with our special Aussie dessert, we will be featuring 3 outstanding wines with the 10th anniversary Dinner. With the Arctic Char, we have a 2003 Coldstream Hills Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley, just outside Melbourne. This wine drew very high ratings from Robert Parker
Our two feature reds, will include a wine that we tried at the Ivory during our fall walk-about. This is the 2002 Grant Burge Filsell from Barossa. This wine was so outstanding when we tasted it in September that we decided to replace a younger wine that was less mature.
Our other red is from the outstanding Torbreck Vineyards, also in the Barossa – 2003 The Struie, (shiraz) which was
purchased originally for this occasion. Parker rated this wine 95 when released so it should be showing well at our dinner.

This event is open to guests so please feel free to pass this on to anyone who might be interested in joining us.
