Last weekend the 3rd annual Howard Park International Riesling tasting was held at the winery and cellar door in Margaret River. The event started with a tasting of 3 brackets of Riesling from around the world - all from the 2006 vintage. The tasting was followed by lunch in the cellar door with an assortment of wines from the Howard Park cellars.

Highlights from the tasting were the 2006 Egon Muller Scharzhof, 2006 Hunter's, 2006 Howrad Park and the 2006 Pewsey Vale Contours. The lunch that followed was delicious and very lively thanks to the live band that had everyone on the dancefloor working off all that Riesling!! Thanks to Jeff and Amy Burch for hosting such a fantastic event.
