The people behind the Young Gun of Wine award has now released its first Wineslinger list, a new initiative that uncovers some of the best venues in Australia for a fun wine experience.
The Top 50 venues across Australia for 2018 have been decided, voted by over 100 of Australia’s leading sommeliers and winemakers, and then whittled down to the Top 50 by the panel and editorial directors Nick Stock and Mike Bennie.
“These panelists are selected for their know-how, their taste, and the fact that they are out and about visiting venues near and far on a constant basis," said director Nick Stock.
"They are chosen because they have a keen eye, a killer palate and they know a good time when they see one.”
Over 300 venues in Australia received votes from the panel. The Top 50 list is made up of pubs, bars and restaurants, but what ties them together is an excellence in creating an environment where wine enjoyment is the hero.
All must have "approachability, energy and adventure".
“Australia offers one hell of a good time for wine lovers and there’s a high bar of quality in a national sense, married with a strong sense of identity and place wherever you go," Stock said.
"That makes this list one very handy reference for both locals and visitors right across the country.”
Voting for the people's choice Top 50 is now open at www.younggunofwine.com/wineslinger and closes on June 17. The Young Gun of Wine Awards will be unveiled at MONA in Tasmania on June 18.
