Event: 23 Oct | Alternative Reality, Max Allen’s new book to launch at Brunswick’s Bahama Gold

On Monday, 23 October, award-winning wine journalist Max Allen will celebrate the launch of his new book, Alternative Reality, at  Brunswick’s favourite public bar and bottle shop Bahama Gold

Max will discuss his new book which tells the story about how and why grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Tempranillo and Mencia entered and stayed in the Australian wine market. 

Matt Aulich (blood moon wines) and Kevin Mcarthy (MDI wines) will also join Max in conversation about the ever-evolving wine landscape; and the evening will be accompanied by a traditional Italian Feast from Bahama Gold. 

There will be plenty of sharing plates and hearty bowls of polenta, Italian sausages and braised seasonal vegetables, with paired wines to flow. I’d love to know if this would be of interest to any event listings, or ‘What’s On’ round-ups you’re planning. Event details below: 

When: Monday, 23 October
Time: 7pm 
Where: Bahama Gold, 135 Lygon Street, Brunswick East, 3057
