Young Bunch

Footage from our wine party at the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival 2011. We had a super time pouring vino – the weather was great, food delish and DJ Emilionzzz spun some fresh tunes to a full house. Thanks to the lucky ones that bought tickets and made the night for us! Next year may even be bigger to make sure that everyone can make it! YB xx

These are the words from our last party..

Some are hilarious, some delightful, some insightful, others just plain weird! Enjoy the highlights:

‘Your rosé is like drinking from the Velvet Chalet’

‘In one word – amazing! And what a rockin’ hairdo! Fab wine, fab night!’

Love the Chardy! And I don’t even like Chardy usually! This stuff is great!’

‘I want the Chardonnay on me’

‘I swirl and I swish this Pinot is bliss!’

‘Best friggin’ wines on show’

‘You’re like the father I never had, knew about, or ever wanted! I love the wine..’

‘I don’t think I put enough in my mouth’

‘You’re hot, I want to help you trim the vines’

‘Friends tell me the one drink they would have on their death bed is a great French Bordeaux. I say they are wrong! Finish ALL things, dinner, night out, life, with a Rutherglen sticky!’

‘Le vin est trés bien. Merci beaucoup xx’

‘Reminds me of picnics as a teenager, fun and a little bit naughty’

‘This inspired me to ditch work tomorrow and drink wine’

‘The sweetest nectar I have swallowed’

PS by subscribing to our juicy blogsite, we’ll keep you in the loop about the next event! Just move your mouse to the left and down a little. It’s not far from here!

The Young Bunch know wine and love fun. Enjoying them together sees the birth of their own wine event, part of the 2010 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

The event brings together a group of twenty-to-thirty-something wine makers and winery owners who like to have a drink as much as you do. The Young Bunch ‘tasting party’ could be deemed as mildly educational as owners and makers will be on the floor, possibly at times talking about their wine, other wine and what they got up to last weekend. It is also possible that this will be done with a drink in hand.

Young Bunch came about through a common vision, and half a degree of separation. They are committed to modernise the casually focused enjoyment of wine by connecting with like-minded friends and followers of wine by way of fun slash approachability.

Melbourne cocktail haunt Red Hummingbird provides the space, Bright Young Things provide the canapés, dj emillionzzz provides an auditory contribution whilst seven of Victoria’s winemakers & winery owners will be pouring generous glasses of their finest.

The Young Bunch is Ben Portet (Dominique Portet, Yarra Valley), Nick Brown (All Saints Estate, Rutherglen), Christian Dal Zotto (Dal Zotto, King Valley), Clare Burder (Eminence, King Valley), Matt Fowles (Plunkett Fowles, Strathbogie Ranges), Simon Steele (Shadowfax, Werribee) and Rowly Milhinch (Scion Vineyard, Rutherglen).
