Sydney Cellar Door 2016 celebrates the diverse wine regions of our state at the Sydney Morning Herald Cellar Door in Hyde Park. 

March into Merivale Food Festival

Few years ago the event used to be free to attend, but it is all changed now. So March into Merivale comes at a cost. Entry fee to this year's event is $45 plus booking fee. Quite a significant price jump in five years. So is it worth the entry fee? There are different opinions. Price of admission gets you 8 food and drink tokens, which can be a bit of a lottery. Some restaurant food stalls will take one food token for a sample of their menu, while others may take two tokens per dish.

Whisky Live Sydney 2013

Very unique and informative event Whisky Live Dinner was held at the at the Four Seasons Hotel with world whisky expert Martine Nouet a French national based in UK. Martine spent weeks designing the menu with the head chef and what a match it turned out to be. Present were some prominent foodies and I got to meet Natasha from East Side Radio who has a food program on Saturday afternoons. The combination of scotch and Tasmanian whiskys with the Nant sherry wood matching perfectly with the chocolate plate divine. And during the weekend Sydney had great collection of whiskies to taste and buy, all under one roof at Paddington Town Hall. It was a fantastic treat to taste whiskies from traditional and new distilleries from around the world.
