An Evening of Natural Wines hosted by Notwasted at Porch & Parlour with local Australian winemaker Alice L’Estrange of George Wine.

From fermenting Sambuca under his bed in boarding school, to travelling the world under a Churchill Fellowship, Adam James (@Rough Rice) has truly been following his nose into the revival of this age-old preserving tradition. We caught up with Adam to chat both about his unique passion for fermenting and 'Eat the Problem' project with Mona down in Tasmania.
