Sarti Restaurant – Selador Wines Winemakers Trade Dinner Wednesday 19th August 2009

Published: 26/08/2009

To celebrate the success of our trade tasting at Trunk, we decided to arrange a degustation event to showcase a number of wines from the portfolio. We were thrilled to have all the team from Selador Wines in attendance, including our interstate and international wineries. In addition a number of clients joined us at Sarti to experience the menu that Joe Mammone (co-owner of Sarti) designed especially for our event.

The food was simply amazing and each taster was paired beautifully with the wine selected. Holly was the event manager for the evening, and performed an amazing role given the number of tasters and wine paired with each (no less than 15 wines were showcased on the night). A copy of the menu can be found below.
