More of those hard to reach, hard to find gems, that you'll probably only hear about.

The first few sessions of TOP SHELF, announced privately to our [ADL] mailing list back in December 2021, sold out in a matter of hours.

We're thrilled to announce the next four events in this coveted Sunday long lunch series, as we continue to explore rare, benchmark wines from the greatest wine regions in the world, poured directly from the private cellar of Michael John Corbett (Vanguardist Wines).
