California Wines partners with Sydney steakhouse for July-long wine showcase

California Wines has partnered with Sydney steakhouse The Gidley to present a month-long showcase “celebrating the diversity and quality” of California’s wine regions. The showcase has been designed to introduce Sydney wine lovers to the breadth of styles, appellations and varietals produced across the Golden State. California Wines’ joint regional director for North Asia and Australasia Hiro Tejima said that Australian wine drinkers may only know California for Cabernet Sauvignon expressions – however, he believes that’s only a fraction of what it has to offer. "Australian wine drinkers may know California for certain expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, but that's only a fraction of what the Golden State has to offer. California is one of the most dynamic wine producing regions in the world, with everything from cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to age-worthy reds including Cinsault and Zinfandel from historic old-vine vineyards.”
