Aussie Music Legend Rocks Hollick Wines

Hollick Wines hosted the 4th annual Hot Summer Night event in their Coonawarra winery recently. Australian rock legend Ross Wilson and his band the Urban Legends rocked a packed Hollick Wines barrel shed as the winery showcased a selection of great local food and wine combined with a classic Australian rock legend.

It was a packed house as over 200 guests were treated to a superb 3-course meal prepared by Upstairs Chef Ian Perry which included a cauliflower and parmesan panna cotta, a delightful chicken breast stuffed with semi dried tomatoes and herbs served with ratatouille, along with a selection of cheese, dried fruit and quince paste for dessert. The meal was perfectly matched to some great Hollick wines commencing with Hollick Sparkling Merlot and Frizzanté on arrival, followed by Reserve Chardonnay, Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon and the innovative Hollick Barbera and Coonawarra.

The atmosphere was electric as guests rocked the night away to the classic hits such as Daddy Cool and Come Said the Boy. The evening ended in an electrifying way as the band concluded the concert with Australia’s favorite rock anthem, Eagle Rock. Not one person was left seated as the favorite was belted out by the vocal 200+crowd.

The event followed on from successful Hot Summer Nights which featured past performances from Cotton, Keays and Morris, Babba and John Waters. Ross and his band were no exception and were absolutely fantastic, their electric stage craft made sure that everyone hit the dance floor and had a great time.

The event was again a success, showcasing a wonderfully talented Australian artist, and the team at Hollick Wines look forward to hosting another Hot Summer Night in 2009.
