A celebration of the 2012 grape harvest will be held at the CSU Winery in Wagga Wagga over a Mediterranean-inspired barbecue from 6.30pm on Saturday 12 May. Hosted by CSU Winemaker Mr Andrew Drumm, guests will be introduced to a range of the University’s wines including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, sparkling and Merlot. The wines will be matched to Mediterranean food prepared by Mr Toby Perry and his team from CSU’s Food and Beverage Services. Mr Drumm said, “The 2012 harvest was one of the more unusual. Picking began at the end of February and finished just before Anzac Day. The cool growing season in spring and summer developed good flavours on vineyards at Orange and Wagga Wagga. The rain in early March punctuated the season but a long warm autumn has finished things off quite well”. The Harvest Celebration marks the end of the seasonal cycle and the hard work and late nights.
