Here at CFW, we are always interested in exploring new wines from different regions. I’m recently had a great interest in New World wines, particularly those from Australia! There’s no better way to learn about different varietals and regions than to TASTE!
Winemaker Dean Hewitson from Hewitson Winery out of South Australia released his latest Shiraz – the 2006 “Mad Hatter” Shiraz on October 6, 2009. In doing so, the winery will be going on a “Mad Hatter Tour” around the US. For the Chicago stop, the winery will be hosting a special 4-Course wine dinner with their restaurant partner, 312 Chicago at the Hotel Allegro.
The theme is Mad Hatter. If you’ve always wanted to wear a crazy hat a la Alice in Wonderland, this is your chance. It will be a sight – a wine dinner with everyone in crazy hats enjoying Australia’s finest in wines!
This is a unique, limited-seat engagement and an opportunity to meet Winemaker Dean Hewitson, who will be present at the dinner. Please see below for details and how to RSVP. Even if you can’t attend this fabulous event, visit the Mad Hatter Tour Facebook page and follow them on Twitter for updates!

Time: 7:00 p.m.
