Advance invites members to The Cock Tavern Theatre's presentation of the UK premiere of Hannie Rayson’s multi-award winning 1990 Australian classic, 'Hotel Sorrento'.

Brought together in the sleepy Australian seaside town of Sorrento they grew up in, they are forced into self-examination when one of them publishes a novel drawn upon autobiography and the family’s past.

Celebrated writer Meg is visiting from England where her novel has just been shortlisted for the Booker Prize. High-flying advertising executive Pippa is in Australia on a business trip from New York. Hilary never left Sorrento; she has stayed with their father since their mother died. Exploring Australian national identity and culture, HOTEL SORRENTO is a story about fractured family loyalty and the tensions between those who’ve left and those who stay behind.

Chicago: Wine Australia presents Wine Oasis - Chicago Jazz Festival on 4-Sep-10 12:00 PM

Chicago: Wine Australia presents Wine Oasis - Chicago Jazz Festival
Start Date: 4-Sep-10 12:00 PM
End Time: 5-Sep-10 9:00 PM
Event Details:

Wine Australia will once again present Wine Oasis at the Chicago Jazz Festival in early September at Grant Park.

Now an icon of the Chicago Calendar, the Jazz Festival runs on the Labor Day weekend annually. Wine Australia is presenting its selection of 24 wines that will help people open up to the diversity of Australian wines.

In an interview at the Jazz Festival last year, Wine Australia’s North American Director, James Gosper, said, ‘Australia is regarded as Shiraz territory– so all other varietals and styles are under rated. At the Festival we had extraordinary interest in many alternatives: varietals such as Viogniers, Pinot Noirs, Grenache, Pinot Gris, Roses, sparklings, and some very interesting blends. The objective of asking the consumers to “Open Up” was achieved with great success. One consumer stated that he did not know that Australia produced Pinot Noir, and then proceeded to say he was blown away by the quality the Pinot Noir had to offer.’
