Brisbane residents should give consideration to joining a club that fosters all of the above.
One such group is the Wine Guild of Australia Queensland Inc. Sounds a little daunting but there were once groups in in each state of Australia promoting the proper service of wine as well as promoting the product itself. This was back in the late sixties when dry table wine was just starting to make its mark in Australia.
Today the emphasis is on members' education although the Guild still presents a trophy for Best Wine Waiter in the Hotels of Australia Annual Awards (or some such). No matter what your present wine knowledge is, the Guild will welcome you as a member.
Monthly club nights, Master classes on particular wine styles and the previously mentioned activities can all be enjoyed by Guild members.
