2010 Tasmania Unbottled in Melbourne, in pictures

Tasmania Unbottled at the Rialto in Melbourne

Having heard about this event over the last two years we wanted to experience it for ourselves. So after spending frequent flyer points like there is no tomorrow it was off to Melbourne with that raging Winepunters thirst and a camera.

Talking to a lot of the punters in the room gave us a real sense that while the Melbourne leg is yet to reach the popularity of the Sydney event it is on its way. Some punters told us that they enjoyed the wine so much that they were planning a trip to Tassie! 

Overall the feedback was very good and all of them said they would be back next year. Talking about next year we enjoyed it so much we're planning to attend all the events (Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane).
