WA WINE LIST AWARDS TO LAUNCH IN MAY

Western Australian restaurants that excel in the provision of wine service and list development now have the chance to be recognised in the WA Wine List Awards.
For the first time Restaurant & Catering Australia (R&CA) has partnered with Wines of WA to deliver the WA Wine List Awards, as part of the 2015 Savour Australia Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS Awards for Excellence program.
The focus for the WA Wine List Awards will be around showcasing local wines and supporting the local WA wine and food industries through wine list development.
This exciting new partnership is just one of the highlights of the WA Wine List Awards program, which will be delivered in a standalone event at Matilda Bay from 2:30pm – 4:30pm on Tuesday 26 May.
Wines of WA’s CEO Larry Jorgensen is proud to have partnered with R&CA to promote and support the whole of the Western Australian wine industry.
“WA wineries are producing world class wines and are an asset to any restaurant wine list”, said Mr Jorgensen.
R&CA CEO John Hart says the inaugural event is a great way to showcase WA wines on WA Wine Lists – with nine sensational regions producing their own distinctive tastes.
“It’s all about enhancing the tourism experience by combining the local food and wine together to showcase the local dining experience.
“The WA Wine List Awards is a great way to work with restaurant operators and encourage them to have WA wines on their wine lists,” said Mr Hart.
The awards are judged on a comprehensive list of criteria.
Nominations close on 10 April and must be made via the R&CA website at www.restaurantcater.asn.au
