Gemtree Moonstone Albarino is described by the winemakers as "A
deliciously zesty and punchy wine! Pears, melon and citrus fruits are
all evident in the front to mid palate. The palate is a two-fold

and texture and then the back palate is all racy and riesling-like,
with wonderful acidity."

Tin Chef 2008 took over the food court of the Footscray Market yesterday, with a chaotic and colourful homage to SBS TV's Japanese cult show
"Iron Chef". The winning chef was Richenda Pritchard from Delizia Cucina in
Seddon with her knock-out dish of Cointreau Zabaglione with Fresh Raspberries
and Strawberries. Losing by only four points was runner up Lien Tran from
Bo De Trai Vegetarian Restaurant with her dish of Dried Bean Curd Assorted on
Fire Plate.
Over 1,000 people attended the event, which featured DJ-ing by Fiona
Scott-Norman, hosts with the most Shirley Billing and David Nguyen, and
expert judging from the likes of Matt Preston from Melbourne Food and
Wine Festival, Mary Ellis from Slow Food Victoria, rock chick and all
round legend Rebecca Barnard and Rebecca Hoswell from the Fifteen Foundation.
The crew from Born in Taxi were also there to ham it up with the large crowd and Bart Beek to keep things following in the kitchen.
