Schedule

Mediterranean Meander – February 24 – $160*

My favourite wine region just happens to be very inclusive… Between six and seven thousand years ago, wine culture spilled out of the Caucasus into Mesopotamia where it was brought to the rest of the Mediterranean world by Phoenician traders, Greek colonists and eventually, Roman conquerors. Today, from Portugal to the Peloponnese, a wide range of grapes and regional styles make the Mediterranean the most diverse wine region in the modern world. And diversity means so many options for matching wines to the wide range of Indian flavours.

Keeping It Local? – Southern Hemisphere Wines with Indian Foods March 31 – $160*

When you realize that wine has been produced in the southern hemisphere since: 1788 (Oz); 1659 (SA); 1836 (NZ); and Chile and Argentina since the 1550s, almost 500 years ago, it feels a little dismissive to label them “New World!” Each of them has distinct regions, famous for specific grapes grown on ancient vines. Which just enables our options for amazing wine-food matches. Expect a spring night loaded with epiphanies!

The Indian Subcontinent Meets The Iberian Peninsula – April 28 – $160*

Tonight, we will be matching the sublime flavours of Pukka’s kitchen with the wide range of amazing Spanish and Portuguese wines. Winemaking in both Spain and Portugal has vaulted quality-wise into the 21 st century but both nations have proudly clung to the grapes and styles that have made them famous. Their versatility will delight and surprise you. Delicious wines, cerebral food, and the informal but informative synthesis of Peter Boyd… an irresistible combination!

The Backroads of France – June 2 – $160*

France’s reputation in the world of wine needs no introduction. The French may not have invented wine but their connoisseurship has taken it to a whole new level. If you’ve ever travelled in France you know there are very few corners of the country that don’t produce delightful wines. This dinner will pit some of those lesser-known beauties against the glorious cooking of Pukka’s kitchen. Whites, reds, rosés and bubblies… Anything is possible! You may leave with some brand-new favourites.
