TRIBUTE DINNER

The Monichino family would like to thank our guests for attending Carlo's tribute dinner.

THERE were lots of stories of Carlo’s love of wine and his beloved vineyard and winery. 
Carlo was well known for his charismatic personality and enjoyed every ones company, especially the ladies, I am sure our customers have some happy memories of their visits to Monichino Winery.

                                                                                                                                                                              


TRIBUTE
to the late Annie Ten Brink

ANNIE Ten Brink was one of Monichino Wines favourite wine ambassadors. She was a renowned wine connoisseur in the Macedon wine region. Her wine club was legendary and her customers were made up of winemakers and wine connoisseurs.
We looked forward to her visits and Anna would be prepared for two hours of hard work dissecting the wines for a very discerning palate.
Annie’s visits were legendary over 25 years, and she would drive her little blue sports car to the winery and would fill it to the brim with wines selected for her wine club. 
 

One of Annie’s famous wine quotes
“Monichino Wines are so honest and direct that even after
one tasting sip, one knows its objective, its purpose,
its origin, its content, its message and its pleasure!”


NEW STAFF MEMBERS

FRENCH
WINEMAKER

IT was sad to say farewell to our visiting French winemaker Ophillie Guyochet. She was a great help to our chief winemaker, Terry Monichino this vintage.
Ophillie was from the winemaking region of Bordeaux in France, with a technical degree in viticulture and wine enology in France.
Ophilllie has worked in the wine regions around Bordeaux and Cahors. She really liked to make red wine. 
At Monichino’s she was involved in all aspects of wine production. Ophillie said “even though Australia makes world class wine, the French bring their culture and their regions have centuries of experience.

Monichino Wines are very pleased to welcome celebrity chef Michael Stokes
(Michael on the Murray).
