We’re very excited to welcome our good mate Ben Chipman of the Barossa’s Tomfoolery Wines back to town – we’re long overdue a good lunch! For those who don’t know Ben, he cut his teeth at a little winery called Rockford under the watchful eyes of Robert O’Callaghan and Chris Ringland before co-founding Tomfoolery in 2004 with a single tonne of old-vine Shiraz and a refreshing lack of pretension. Embracing a minimalistic, small-batch approach, Ben utilizes wild yeast fermentation, open fermenters, and basket pressing with absolutely no fining or filtration to craft expressive, deeply layered wines. We’ll be enjoying a stellar line-up, with several wines usually unavailable in QLD, all leading up to his flagship Artful Dodger Shiraz. The team at Malt Dining are pulling out all stops with a brilliant 3 course menu – it’ll be a cracking afternoon of food, wine and fun – hope to see you there!
$160.00
