A Dinner Featuring the Wines of Shaw + Smith, Tolpuddle and MMAD Vineyard

Hosted by co-founder and Master of Wine Michael Hill Smith

Michael Hill Smith MW is a legend of the Australian wine industry and the co-founder of iconic labels Shaw + Smith, Tolpuddle and MMAD Vineyard. In late February he joins us to reflect on his career and to present wines from across his three brands. This will include a look back at some older vintages as well as a sneak peak of the yet-to-be-released single vineyard wines of 2023/2024 from Shaw + Smith. This will be an intimate dinner for twenty customers only at the home of Prue and Ian Cook. We hope that you can join us.
