On Tuesday the 21st, we took a sneak peek at a selection of the regionally distinct wines that will be shown at the September Australian wine tasting event: Regional Heroes.

Regional Heroes, as defined by Wine Australia, are wines and producers that have blazed a trail for their region’s profile with varietal choice and/or style dictated by who made them, where they were made, and why.

The Regional Heroes Tastings occur in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto between September 18th and 27th, 2007:

Wine Australia, Canada will roll out its fall tasting series this autumn with a focus on regionally distinct wines. Regional Heroes, as defined by Wine Australia, are wines from somewhere, rather than just anywhere. The tasting will showcase wineries and producers who have blazed a trail for their region’s identity through varietal choice and style, portraying a distinct sense of place. Gain a deeper understanding of Australian wine-growing regions and learn about food & wine pairing at our food stations at this unique tasting with a Down Under flair.
