Yet another superb wine dinner hosted by Matthew Hansen, a highly respected and very knowledgeable wine educator who has been putting on such wine & food events for over 30 years. Kenzan was a brilliant choice, one of the best Japanese restaurants in Australia, its food matched with astoundingly good wines, excellent company, witty and entertaining, yet informal and most welcoming. Have been to many, and greatly looking forward to the next one!
