Overview

The cellar, opened and explained

The list at Sunshine Bistro runs to 140 bottles across all 22 Australian wine regions. The tasting sessions are how we show it off — six pours, one theme, and a sommelier who talks plainly about what's in the glass.

Themes rotate: regional deep-dives, old-world-versus-new, blind flights for the confident. Cheese and charcuterie keep pace. You'll leave knowing more than the notes would ever teach.

I'm not a wine person, but ninety minutes with someone who actually loves the stuff changed that.
