Held cocktail style on the rooftop of Madame Brussels in Melbourne’s CBD, with canapés and the 22 wines from the 2011 finalists all on for your tasting pleasure.

As a trainee winemaker/viticulturist, I would love the chance to come and cheer on Fellow Victorian winemakers so they can steal the glory from those sneaky SA boys!

Sipping world-class wines on a rooftop bar in the middle of winter - it doesn't get much more Melbourne than that! What a fantastic way to say cheers to Australia's hottest winemakers.
