This newsletter is short and sweet, especially if you are lucky enough to live in Melbourne.

1. Reminder about the Free Vinodiversity Tasting at Jwow Wine Bar. There will be up to a dozen wines, all from what some people describe as weird and whacky varieties on show. Plus some of the Winemakers, plus the entire management and staff of Vinodiversity.

DATE: Thursday 9th June
TIME: 5.30pm to 8.30pm
PLACE: 243 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne (Just near the Swanston St Entrance to the State Library)

Bring a friend or five, all welcome. Find out for yourself, weird and wacky or weird and wonderful!

Jwow is a friendly wine bar with a friendly staff. They always have something interesting to buy by the glass, so if you can't make it on Thursday, just drop in anytime and ask for a Vinodiverse wine.

2. I have a just written a page on "The Next Shiraz" you are invited to submit your opinion, and I will keep you informed, via this newsletter of the replies received.

3. Don't forget you can always pick up some bargain wine at Winemakers choice, the preferred supplier to Vinodiversity. They have weekly specials, email specials, wine plan specials, wine accessory specials. Have a browse of what they have to offer. I highly recommend signing up to their weekly email specials service.

4. Some of you may not have bought your Wine Variety Table yet. This is your best chance to become informed about varietal wines, decipher European wine labels, provide a stunning decoration for your office, bar, dining room, cellar or tasting room AND impress your friends at the same time. You could even give it as a Gift! (it comes in a snazzy gift box!) Find out why you need one of these!

5. Don't forget the Vinodiversity Blog is the place for the latest updates on the Vinodiverse Universe
