Enomatic

For the next Wine on Wednesday, on 28 July, we're going to head to Fifth Element at 188 Grey Street, Southbank. This is not far from the Goodwill Bridge, so I'd encourage considering the walk if you're coming from town.

I keep hearing about this wine bar, so I'm keen to check it out. I think the hype's because of the whizz-bang pre-pay wine-dispensing machines that feature. These are from Enomatic, Italian designed and manufactured and having tried them out elsewhere, they are rather cool. They dispense a 'taste' (25ml), a half glass (75ml) or a glass (125ml), all at proportionate prices which come off your special wine card charged with credit, so it is a fabulous way to sample a few different drops. At Fifth Element, it sounds like it's not just the novelty of this wine vending machine technology that has people drinking their wine, as I understand "the number and depth of by-the-glass selections is unparalelled in this city." It sounds worth it, so we'll have to see for ourselves. Look forward to it. Hope to see you there from around 7pm.
