WINE TALK SERIES 2024
Calling all wine lovers! Join us in this celebration and exploration of a drink that has seen millennia of history, as we learn about wine culture through manga (Japanese comics), meet winemakers of Japanese wine to hear behind-the-scenes tales of the vicissitudes of winemaking and discover the scientific side of Japan’s own indigenous wine grape varietal.
Wine is enjoyed internationally and remains one of the world’s most popular libations. This talk series is not only for wine enthusiasts but also for people interested in Japanese popular culture, business, agriculture and biology.
After this talk series, you will never look at a bottle of wine in the same way. Enjoy three weeks of wine appreciation!
Speakers:
Jason Jones, Monash University
Phillip Moraghan and Rika Shimo-Moraghan, Shimora Wines
Shinichi Enoki, University of Yamanashi
Moderator:
Jason Jones, Monash University
Please note that the in-person talk event will also be available via Facebook livestream on the JPF Sydney Facebook page.
