While I wasn't a huge fan of many of the wines, I've got to hand it to the company for putting on quite the impressive display.
Served with Citrus Roasted Scallops and Shrimp with Grapefruit, Blood Orange, frisee and honey
The dish was fantastic and was an amazing pairing, as it complemented every wine in different ways.
Warm Brie and Onion "Tartlet" with Apple, walnut and baby greens.
Another creative and tasty dish, and paired wonderfully with the wines.
Crispy-skin roasted Salmon with thyme, mushroom, kale and allspice.
Nice sauce, but I'm never really impressed when Atlantic farmed Salmon is served. It just not salmon. Well prepared, though.
Sage roasted breast of duck with turnip-carrot puree and clove jus
Tough pairing and the duck was too undercooked for me. I'm not even sure that it would qualify as rare.
Leg of lamb with potato, parsnip, smoked bacon, and rosemary-anis jus
This was to die for! Amazingly good. Probably one of the top lamb meals I've had in a long while. Great pairing, as well.
Butterscotch Panna Cotta with pecan and molasses

2008 Hewitson Sauvignon Blanc Lulu 87 Points
Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills
3/9/10: 6 months doesn't seem to be kind to this wine. Big rich, petroly, nose. Almost Riesling like. Citrus fruits. A little heavy handed. 86-87
9/14/09: Great nose, asparagus and other Loire type characteristics. Well done, very well balanced, but not really something I'd turn to with the price point. 87-88

Kind of boring. Like it's not quite there. Good acidity, though.

2007 Rocky Gully Riesling 88 Points

Red delicious nose. A little more weight then usual for Aussie Riesling. Austure on finish. Quite nice. Citrus starts to come out. 88+
