A delightful and eccentric evening was had with Chester Osborn, the mastermind behind the iconic d’ARENBERG wines from McLaren Vale, Australia. Known for his colorful personality and playful approach to winemaking, Chester guide us through a selection of the winery’s finest offerings, from the refreshing Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne to the legendary Dead Arm Shiraz.
As we sipped each glass, paired with gourmet dishes designed to enhance the wines’ unique flavors, Chester entertained us with humorous stories behind the creation of these wines. His anecdotes revealed the quirky inspirations and clever names that have become synonymous with d’ARENBERG’s bold, distinctive style.
