• 2007 La Motte Shiraz/Viognier
• 2007 La Mote Shiraz/Grenache
• 2008 La Motte Shiraz
• 2006 La Motte Shiraz
• 2005 La Motte Shiraz
• 2003 La Motte Shiraz
Check out our August Vin-atics Club Tasting Notes… all the info on what they taste like, cool things to say at a dinner party and where you can buy ‘em.
The Food
Food24’s Resident Chef Caro de Waal has suggested 6 different and delicious dishes which she thinks will match each wine perfectly.
• Aubergine Pate with Cumin and Honey
• Pork, Pistachio and Apricot Terrine
• Kassler, Bean and Chorizo Casserole
• Lamb Chops with Black Cherry Mint sauce
• Sirloin Steak with Madagascan Pepper sauce
• Asian Duck Salad
•

The Main Event: Wednesday 18th August at 7pm.
We’ll be cooking the dishes and tasting the wines – and we want you to join us too!
