Gold Medal Cairns Show Wine Awards 

  

Cairns

In the recent Cairns Show Wine Awards we picked up a Gold Medal for our Winemakers Selection 2011 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc.

 

The annual Cairns Show Wine Awards are unique in many aspects, and is a highly recognised competition on the Australian wine calendar.

Our Gold Medal winner has a wonderful tropical fruit bouquet and a soft, well balanced palate of lime citrus flavour and passionfruit.  What's better is that you can pick it up for only $14.40 per bottle on our wine club website, click here

Fireside Logo  

Warm up this Winter at the Fireside Festival 1-31 August 2012. Embrace the cooler days and crisp nights by making Canberra your destination this winter. 

  

Flint in the Vines Restaurant has a full calendar of events:

 

Fireside Fridays

Grab a table of 10 friends, and enjoy an evening in front of the open fireplace with your own dedicated waiter. This special Vintage Wellington Menu consists of a four-course meal with the main meal a large beef wellington (pastry made from scratch) cooked in the wood-fire oven, to be shared amongst your table. Other courses include wood-fired whole camembert, platters with three of our signature entrees...all rounded off with a decadent dessert of chocolate nemesis.  With the first three courses paired with a vintage wine, some from Graeme Shaw's cellar, you are sure to have a great night!  Download the menu here to review.  

 

Book quickly, as there is only one table of 10 available each Friday during Fireside (Available dates remaining : 3, 17 & 31 August). 

 

Trivia Night, Thursday 16 Aug - Sorry, all sold out!!

 

Vegas in the Vines  Vegas

In 1967, Las Vegas was a buzz in anticipation of the Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee show.  Flint in the Vines is taking you back to enjoy a night of entertainment from that era.  Annie Sloane as Peggy Lee, Tony Haley as Frank Sinatra and accompanied by The John Black Trio.

 

The one night only show will start with cocktails and canapés in the cellar door followed by the show and a three course meal, with an all inclusive price of $99 per person.  The dining room at Flint in the Vines, transforms into a intimate Vegas cabaret, with a roulette table to test your luck and the evening will be accompanied by American inspired food.  Dress to the nines to get into the spirit of things if you so desire and to be in running to win! 6:30pm cocktails and canapes for 7pm

 

For more information on these events click here or phone Flint in the Vines on 02 62275144 or email vines@flint.net.au

 

The Fireside Festival calendar is now finalised, and is all about curling up by the crackling fire, with some hearty winter cuisine while enjoying a glass of fine local red with that loved one of friends.
