Thank you to all guests who join us for this rare opportunity to meet Denis Horgan, proprietor of Leeuwin Estate in Margaret River, Western Australia. On Monday September 19th, 2005 from 7pm at the Guilin Room, Pudong Shangri-La Hotel, guests enjoyed a delicious meal paired with Australia’s “best Chardonnay.”
Leeuwin Estate is numbered amongst the finest domains in the world and has achieved a remarkable reputation for quality. Divine Food & Wine Magazine June 1999, quoted “Everyone should try a Leeuwin … at least once in their life.” Leeuwin Estate Winery is a ‘Serious Wine Producer’, with a Chardonnay that has been called ‘ Australia ‘s best Chardonnay’. The winery is on an estate that has accommodated the likes of Sting, Tom Jones and Dianna Ross.
Who would have thought the proprietor of such a place could be such a laugh? Denis Horgan, owner of Australia ‘s Leeuwin Estate Winery surprised us all by being humorous, entertaining and lively, and by showing no desire to drone on about the technicalities of his wonderful wines. ‘Just drink it!’ he says ‘it will speak for itself. Now, did I tell you about the time….’
And what a time we had. The evening, the latest Austen Morris Associates Private Client Dinner, was highlighted by an exquisite menu, a dazzling view and even an unexpected round of fireworks over the Bund. Not to mention the truly marvelous wine….
