			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Das <a href="http://www.downunderwines.net/tag/melbourne/"><strong>Melbourne Food &#038; Wine Festival</strong></a> bietet insbesondere für uns Weinliebhaber jedes Jahr tolle Überraschungen. Der Name ist neu, die Idee und Umsetzung stammt aus den Erfahrungen der letzten Jahre: <a href="http://www.melbournefoodandwine.com.au/festival-events/highlight-events/cellar-door-farm-gate"><strong>Cellar Door &#038; Farm Gate</strong></a>!</p>
<p align="right"><span style="margin: 5px; float: right"><div id="attachment_4389" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.downunderwines.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Gasse_in_Melbourne.jpg"><img src="http://www.downunderwines.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Gasse_in_Melbourne-225x300.jpg" alt="Beste Weinkarte aus Melbourne" title="Gasse_in_Melbourne" width="225" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-4389" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Die kleinen Gassen in Melbourne</p></div></span></p>
<p> Mehr als 60 viktorianische Winzer präsentieren an einem langen Wochenende ihre besten Weine entlang des Yarra Flusses, zusätzlich zeigen die lokalen Produzenten ihre Vielfalt für die gesunde Küche, in diesem Jahr sind sehr viele Bioproduzenten mit an Bord.</p>
<p>Für uns ist dieses Wochenende ein absolutes Highlight des Festivals, planen Sie Ihren Weg nach Melbourne und entdecken Sie Ihren Favoriten unter den sympathischen Winzern aus Viktoria.</p>
<p>___________________________________</p>
<p>Alfresco wine tasting combined with delicious <a href="http://www.downunderwines.net/category/background/food/"><strong>gourmet treats</strong></a>, this is what Melbourne&#8217;s own Cellar Door &#038; Farm Gate stands for.</p>
<p>The Festival’s original boutique wine marketplace gathers more than 60 Victorian wineries, artisan producers and craft brewers to bring you the ultimate Victorian food and wine experience. </p>
<p>Taste your way around Victoria’s wine regions, settle down by the Yarra river with a picnic, or pick up a tasty sausage at the Rare Breed BBQ &#8211; it couldn&#8217;t be more Australian.</p>
<p>Wine, food and a new riverside location in South Wharf of Melbourne &#8211; a splendid way to spend the first weekend of the Festival in Victoria&#8217;s capital.</p>
<p>Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 March, South Wharf in Melbourne, entry is $35</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Das Melbourne Food and Wine Festival begeistert uns jedes Jahr aufs Neue - sie sollten jenes unbedingt einplanen, sofern sie im australischen Victoria Anfang März unterwegs sind.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vom 4. bis zum 14. März findet das alljährliche Food &#038; Wine Festival in Melbourne statt, für Freunde der australischen Kulinarik ein absolutes Must. </p>
<p align="right"><span style="margin: 8px; float: right"><div id="attachment_3569" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.downunderwines.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ruther-wine_exp_sm.jpg"><img src="http://www.downunderwines.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ruther-wine_exp_sm-300x206.jpg" alt="Wines from Tutherglen region in Melbourne" title="ruther-wine_exp_sm" width="300" height="206" class="size-medium wp-image-3569" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rutherglen Wines in Melbourne</p></div></span></p>
<p> So gilt Melbourne nach wie vor als die Food Hauptstadt, auch wenn Sydney durch seinen starken asiatischen Einfluß in den vergangenen Jahren stark aufgeholt hat. Melbourne, das ist die Stadt mit italienischem und griechischem Flair, je nachdem in welchem Stadtteil man sich gerade aufhält, geprägt durch die vielen Einwanderer, die nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg mit ihren Familien hierher gezogen sind.</p>
<p>Das Food &#038; Wine Festival ist inzwischen ein Magnet für Besucher aus aller Welt. Und so werden auch in diesem Jahr wieder die vielen Besucher aus Deutschland, die sich im März in Melbourne und an der Great Ocean Road aufhalten, dieses <a href="http://www.downunderwines.net/2011/01/14/drei-australische-weine-bei-52weine-de/"><strong>Festival</strong></a> aufsuchen.</p>
<p>Einen erstklassigen Überblick zu den einzelnen Veranstaltungen bietet der <a href="http://www.melbournefoodandwine.com.au/festival-events/browse-events"><strong>Festivalkalender</strong></a> &#8211; hier sind die über 250 Events der 10 Tage gut dargestellt. </p>
<p>Unsere Highlights und Empfehlungen, vor allem zu den australischen <a href="http://www.downunderwines.net/"><strong>Weinevents</strong></a>, werden wir in den kommenden zwei Wochen hier gesondert abgeben. Wichtig ist nur an dieser Stelle: sofern sie in Viktoria weilen, sollten sie sich dieses Festival nicht entgehen lassen.</p>
<p>_______________________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>The first weekend of the Festival is just around the corner!  Don’t let the next 15 days creep up on you without snapping up tickets. With more than 200 individual events alone over the kick-off weekend, you are spoilt for choice.   </p>
<p>Unfortunately the World’s Longest Lunch on Friday 4 March has already sold out, that is a shame, but happens every year.  </p>
<p>Why not take a seat at one of 25 Regional World’s Longest Lunches at spectacular locations across Victoria including Kilmore, Werribee, Marysville, Goulburn River, Healesville or Heathcote?   </p>
<p>We will tell you about our favourites in the lead up to the Festival over the next weeks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I simply love a good steak, together with chips (I should really call them french fries as I prefer the thin ones) and a few veggies and I am a happy man. A great bottle of wine on top and I am in heaven.</p>

<p>This happened in <a href="http://www.downunderwines.net/2009/03/05/melbourne-food-and-wine-festival-starts-on-saturday-the-7th-of-march/"><strong>Melbourne</strong></a> on the weekend. In my series spectacular places I would like to give a special mention to the Rare Steakhouse in Melbourne&#8217;s CBD. Hidden away from the mainstream in an isle next to Little Collins Street, we enter the Steakhouse and immediately fall in love with its interior. 70s fabrics, colours and chandeliers welcome you on your way to your table. The menu is quite simple, the focus stays on meat with a few lines explaining carefully what to expect from each dish. Too easy mate.</p>
<p>The wine list is great: Victorian and South Australian wines dominating the list. What else to expect from a Melburnian restaurant, and I do not mean this disrespectfully, to the contrary. I have received quite a few comments on my posts about wine drinkers from NSW not drinking &#8216;their&#8217; local drops. In my opinion it is essential to <a href="http://www.downunderwines.net/2009/03/03/nsw-wine-week-2009-happy-drinking-in-sydneys-hyde-park/"><strong>support the local wine makers</strong></a> and therefore the focus on wine from VIC and SA in Melbourne is very understandable.</p>
<p>Our wine tasting starts with a 2007 Heathcote Shiraz from Tar &amp; Roses, quite a rich wine with 14.5% but an excellent match to our Fillet. Dan Lewis and Narelle King have made this wine an outstanding match for the anymeat lover here Down Under. Have to explore more about the Tar &amp; Roses wines &#8211; big exclamation mark. The good news is: most of the great reds are available by the glass, I am simply not used to this luxury from Restaurants in Sydney. Wine by the glass is made for the wine enthusiast who wants to explore &#8211; I usually drink more by trying a few wines than by just sticking it to one bottle.</p>
<p>More on the other wines in a separate post &#8211; have to get this one on the way.</p>
<p>_______________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Im Rahmen meiner Serie &#8216;Besondere Restaurants&#8217; Down Under berichte ich heute von meiner Erfahrung im Rare Steakhouse in Melbourne am letzten Wochenende. Ich verspreche Ihnen grossartiges Fleisch, eine wunderbare Atmosphaere aus den 70ern und eine Weinkarte, die es in sich hat. Wir testeten diverse Weine aus Viktoria, denn es gilt ja hier dem lokalen Geschmack zu folgen.</p>
<p>Ihr Michael Brecht</p>
