Yalumba has announced the first-ever Viognier Symposium, which will take place on 15/16 August 2002 at the Yalumba winery in the Barossa Valley. Yalumba's Brian Walsh and Baillieu Myer of Elgee Park are the brains behind the event, while Robert Joseph will be the keynote speaker. In the last few years we have experienced unprecedented interest in Viognier,' said Walsh. Baillieu and I were convinced an opportunity existed to provide a forum in which to share knowledge about this exotic and alluring Rhne variety.'
