Sierra Blair, 2024 Judge

One of the best weeks in my career “The show, the people, Mildura, everything blew me away. A true highlight was the Talk & Taste, how amazing to try those new varietals! One of the best weeks in my career, really! “

Brooke Edson, 2024 Judge

Challenging and Deeply Rewarding “As a judge, you’re immersed in the diversity of alternative varieties and styles of wine, which makes the process both challenging and deeply rewarding. The experience is a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge, refine your palate, and engage with others who share a passion for alternative varieties in Australian.”

Leanne Altmann, Chief of Judges (2023 – Present)

Drink Australian Wine “Whether a result of better site and clonal selection, vine age or simply experience, wines overall seem to be growing in confidence and identity. It truly is an exciting time to drink Australian wine – now and into the future.“
