There is a promises wines from all of Australia's best regions (a LOT of regions!).
Riedel glasses.
A special setup fo his 'Winery of the Year', with many 94+/100 wines (Halldays rating).
It's at the MCA so is easy to get to and is very tempting.

Have you laid out cash for a decent tasting recently?
I didn't lay out cash, but attended "Rudipalooza", a celebration of German wines focusing on those by Rudi Weist (who attended and is a gem of a man). If I remember correctly, the only cities where they had the tasting were Kansas City, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco. Great great stuff.
