A JJ Buckley - TasteLive! Joint Venture
Come join JJ Buckley as we host our first TasteLive! event featuring the Barossa Valley's Elderton Wines. This exclusive "Command Performance" tasting will feature eight wines from the Elderton portfolio, including their flagship wine, the Elderton 'Command' Shiraz.
Taste | One of the Barossa's most lauded wines, the Command Shiraz has been highly rated over the years by both Robert Parker and The Wine Spectator - In fact, WS has awarded it between 93 and 99 points for nine vintages straight! Command is rarely opened for retailers, let alone consumers, so this will be a real treat indeed! We'll also have a look at Elderton's super reserve cabernet, the 'Ashmead', a delicious cab-shiraz-merlot blend 'Ode to Lorraine' and more. (See below for the full tasting menu. ) For onsite guests, discussion will be led by acclaimed JJ Buckley Australian wine expert, Chuck Hayward.
Tech | For TasteLive participants, Elderton proprietor Cameron Ashmead will lead a virtual discussion on four of the eight wines while answering questions from TasteLive participants around the U.S. We hope many of you will also join in the virtual discussion with Cam via the TasteLive platform. All you need is a Twitter account, then register as a TasteLive participant at www.TasteLive.com/eldertonestate. WiFi will be available at the event venue if you wish to bring your laptop and login to the TasteLive website. You can also participate via Twitter using your iPhone or Blackberry by tagging your tasting tweets with an event designated #hashtag (i.e. #ttl #eldertonwines). We'll have a few TasteLive 'experts' hanging around to answer newbie questions and a monitor running the TasteLive feed so you'll be able to see it in action.
This exclusive tasting will be held with our event partner Local Kitchen - a neighborhood restaurant and wine bar located on San Francisco's Rincon Hill. Local is dedicated to sourcing as much of their food from local farms, artisans and fisherman as possible. Tasty tidbits from Local's kitchen and wood-fired oven will be provided.
