Paranormal Activity

Are you, dear reader, a fan of our Mallaluka Paranormal Rosé? We don't wish to alarm but the final allocation has landed, and after this, it shall exist no more. As a reminder, our Rosé was our first ever project wine, made in collaboration with friend, Sam Leyshon of Mallaluka! 'Tis a fruity, off-dry, deeper number, with strawberry lolly vibes on the nose, a wild balance of berry acid and a savoury edge on le palate. Not a Provence style pink wine, no siree. Come spring, you will be grateful.

Another tasting? From us? For you? You can count your stars on it. On Saturday 25 June from 2-5pm Tony Zafirakos and Maddie Park-Neilson of Aristotelis Ke Anthoula (formerly Ari's Natural Wine Co) will grace us for a late-afternoon of tasting. On offer? A spy of their newest releases plus some old friends. Come for the complimentary sips, stay for snacks and green parkland views.

Friday June 24 — a Nice Falafel party! Acquaintance Angus Raddon will descend on the ship’s pans to bring us, you, two falafel nights (there’ll be one July 1, too). Falafel wraps, falafel plates, hummus plates and pickles too - all vegetarian and plates are GF. Falafels hot from 5pm!

Thy eyes do not deceive - Paranormal hath descended on the digital pages of Vogue. Find our wine shop-bar among friends on Vogue's list of the restaurants every foodie needs to visit in Canberra. Weekend agenda-ing established.

Thursday 21 July forecast says: mid-week, mid-winter dinner with Bryan Martin, the storied winemaker behind Ravensworth. Join us for four courses and matching wines, including some very special jewels, mined from the cellar. Tickets are $120 per person - yes, the ship's first ever ticketed event - with two sittings at 6pm and 8.30pm. Limited, limited, limited.

There’s another Paranormal-skewed event on the horizon for you. On Thursday May 26, Broadsheet is offering “a portal to New Zealand”, otherwise known as an immersive party of New Zealand’s culinary, cultural and artistic offering, at Surry Hills’ Paramount House Hotel. There’ll be a Māori welcome, Max is on the wine, Amber Doig is on the snacks, along with Bar Celeste, there will be live art by Estere and music from Natalie Ex. Thirty double passes for mere mortals to win are up for the winning. Godspeed.
