Members may recognise Simon’s name. He presented to the club back in April 2018 but has recently moved to a new company in wine and spirit wholesaling, Colab Wine Merchants Limited.
This company is interesting in that its 2 principal shareholders are 2 well-known wineries:
- Alpha Domus Limited [Hawkes Bay]
- Terra Sancta [Central Otago].
But of equal importance to us, Colab also handles 3 South Australian brands:
- Woodstock from McLaren Vale
- Some Young Punks from the Adelaide Hills
- Adelina from Clare Valley.
As you can see, all 3 of these areas are in the state of South Australia which is one of the iconic new world wine regions and so we are really looking forward to tasting some great wines from this area.
More details next month.
