Join John Larchet and other winemakers & proprietors from around the world for the World Wine Headquarters & Australian Premium Wine Collection National Portfolio Tasting. Meet the people behind these distinctive Wine Estates from both new and old world countries & taste the wines from a truly balanced “worldwide” portfolio.  John's “Distinctive Style Imprint” has been the hallmark of his portfolios. Wines that are highly aromatic, and intensely flavored. But above all else, wines that are born with a natural sense of balance and harmony. By definition, wines that do not have any “arms or legs sticking out” (no excessive alcohol, no excessive acidity, no excessive tannins and no excessive oak). Those wines are always a pleasure to drink.
