W
hen two great Australian
wine-making families combine
something spectacular is
bound to happen. So on the night of
Dine with Dish at Jervois Steak House
there is magic in the air when Caroline
Brown from Brown Brothers and Justin
Taylor from Taylors take the floor to
introduce their premium wines and
share anecdotes from their extensive
wine-making backgrounds.
It is an evening of family history, fine
wine and exceptional food - starting
with Daikon Tacos, Beef Tartare, Nam
Jim and Crispy Shallot, masterfully
created by head chef, Gareth Stewart,
effortlessly matched with Brown
Brothers Patricia Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay Brut 2010.
While discussing the pairing notes
of the stand-out wine, Caroline Brown
talked warmly of the significance of
the Patricia collection, aptly named
as a tribute to the family matriach,
Patricia Brown.
Next up, the ‘Tongue and Cheek’
Smoked Ox Tongue and Buttered
Hapuku Cheeks were a taste
sensation, and matched beautifully
with Taylors St Andrews Chardonnay
- Justin Taylor took diners
through the outstanding wine choice,
detailing the vibrant history of Taylors
Wines, a winery spanning three
generations from humble beginnings
in the South Australian region of
Clare Valley.
Following along, a course of Grilled
Sirloin ‘Carbonara’ with mushrooms
and bacon, paired impeccably with
Brown Brothers Patricia Shiraz 2012
- a wine notable for its blackberry and
currant fruits, liquorice and delicious
spice characters.
Guests enjoyed a beautifully thought-out menu matched
to exceptional wine from Brown Brothers and Taylors
Wines at a recent Dine with Dish at Jervois Steak House.
