Wolf Blass: Celebrating a milestone.

While some people turn up for the opening of an envelope, we prefer the opening of a bottle - especially when it's something as impressive as the one John Walker and Sons will pop on Thursday night. It's one of just 60 $200,000 bottles made to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and it will be the first of these in the world to be opened – at Sydney Opera House. The week also marks another milestone in the liquid world: the 80th birthday of Wolfgang Blass, architect of the Wolf Blass wine empire. We're expecting our toasting arm to be rather stiff by the end of the week.
