Win 2 Tickets to the Perth Good Food and Wine Show 2010!
I am excited. The Good Food and Wine Show for 2010 is on again in Perth. Why am I excited, you ask? The Show is on every year, and probably, along with every man and their dog, goes along every year, so what’s to get excited about? For the first time in over five years, I get to go to the Good Food and Wine Show as a CONSUMER! Every year previous to this one, I have worked at the show, behind a counter, serving wine to all you enthusiastic wine and food lovers. I have never been able to escape from the confines of the stand and really have a good look around and explore all the fruits of so many Australian producers’ labour. So that’s what I intend to do, and of course, will post my findings on the website soon after.
The Good Food and Wine Show in Perth is being held from Friday, the 2nd of July until Sunday the 4th of July, 2010 at the Perth Convention Centre. Wander around the maze of stalls offering the finest wine and food produce from not only our good state of Western Australia, but from all over this wide brown land of ours. Get up close and personal with those Celebrity Chefs that we know and love and learn some new recipes and cooking skills in the Celebrity Theatre, or even better still (and right up my alley), pop in to the Riedel Wine Theatre or book a seat in the Riedel Decanter Bar and be guided through different wine styles and regions by some well known winos. Book in for the Cheesematter’s Masterclass and learn about different cheese styles and how to pair each one with the perfect wine. With so many things to do, and so many different producers to see, it will be easy to spend an entire day ambling around the enormous halls of the Convention Centre.
For me, I am going to play it by ear. With glass in hand, I will be found wandering and tasting wine from new producers, and of course the ones we know and love. Although I am an Oenophile to the core, I can’t go past great food either. It’s not every day we get to have a one-stop shop come to our doorstep, so make sure you get down to the show and support Aussie producers, expand your palate and broaden your food and wine horizons.
So who wants to join me? I have two free tickets to give away, which you can use on any one of the three days over which the show is held. All you have to do is post a comment on this blog, telling me what you love about the Good Food and Wine Show in Perth, and what is the one experience at the Show that you will be seeking out over any other. How easy is that? After you post your comment, go to the contact page and send me a quick message with your contact details, so that when I choose the winner, I can get in touch with you.
Good luck and I hope to see you there!

Theres nothing like winter and a food and wine show to entice us back into the kitchen armed with new skills and tricks to add to our ever growing knowledge
Thanks Meggy, I agree! Don’t forget to send me an email from my contact page to let me know your details in case you win!
It would be a fine thing to experience the fantastic WA wine & food producers on their home turf, with the Reidel Glass Tasting highest on my list of must-sees, as the glass is just as important as what goes in it!
A perfect excuse to drink Champagne before midday! (“Bubbles, Darling” at 11:15am)
