Australia's most prestigious awards program for wine and beverage lists, established 1994.
Tucker Seabrook established Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards in 1994 to showcase benchmarks for the hospitality industry to elevate the standard of Australian Wine Lists. The awards recognise and reward the dedicated and talented sommeliers creating lists for Australia’s restaurants, wine bars, small bars, cafes, brasseries, pubs, clubs and hotels.
The awards:
Grant Dickson and Tuoi Do's humble Barossa Valley Vietnamese restaurant, fermentAsian is a family affair with Grant managing the restaurant and wine list while Tuoi cooks the food of her homeland. Tuoi’s parents, run the kitchen garden by day and prep the food by night. fermentAsian’s list was put together to entertain and challenge the local winemakers and to offer an alternative view of Barossa wines. Its diversity is amazing and its pricing predicated on the desire to encourage repeat business. It's a one-off that dazzled the judges!
