      <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://email.liquidshape.com.au/t/r/l/mlrull/urlluujt/h">26th August</a>&nbsp;will be the&nbsp;night to indulge on one of the most debated Grape varietals in the world.</p>
<p>This masterclass will allow participants to taste wines from <strong>France, New Zealand </strong>and <strong>Australia </strong>to see what affect the terrior of the three countries has on the most challenging yet rewarding of grapes. Will the Burgundy classics hold up as the benchmark wines of this variety? Do&nbsp;Central Otago wines have the body to match their fruit&nbsp;or&nbsp;have the&nbsp;Mornington winemakers mastered the balance of acid and ripeness? All of this will be answered and more.</p>
<p>10 premium pinots? Yes</p>
<p>Fine French cheeses? Yes</p>
<p>Matched with delectable Mirrool Creek Lamb? Yes</p>
<p>Once again hosted by <strong>Rob Geddes</strong>, this is a night not to be missed as we explore the subtleties of this hedonistic style and attempt to determine the validity of the statement <strong>&ldquo;where as God made Cabernet, the Devil created Pinot Noir"</strong>.</p>]]></description>
