MATT SKINNER

Matt Skinner is an author, writer, consultant and educator well known to international audiences for his refreshing take on wine and knack for making it simple. A strong believer that wine is for everyone, and that enjoying it is your right rather than your privilege, Matt has twice been short listed for the IWSC International Communicator of the Year Award, is author of the awarded and international bestsellers Thirsty Work (published in 17 countries and 10 languages), Heard It Through The Grapevine and his annual guide, The Juice – 100 Wines You Should be Drinking.

Day to day Matt consults to a small, yet perfectly formed group of clients around the world, makes regular contributions to Sunday Life, BBC Australian Good Food, Gourmet Traveller WINE and Home Beautiful. In his spare time, Matt likes nothing more than sleeping late, uncrowded surf, sunny days at the snow and being in charge of the barbeque. Together with his family, he lives, works and plays in Melbourne.

Matt will be hosting the dedicated Plumm Wine Glass Experience sessions in the Plumm Wine Theatre this year. Plumm -  a producer of an Australian-designed, European-made range of glassware – has teamed up with Matt to spread the word that ‘Five glasses are all you need’. Come along to the Plumm Wine Glass Experience in the Plumm Wine Theatre and see for yourself the difference the right glassware makes to your enjoyment of wine. Join Matt and experience a number of great wines matched with Plumm glassware for a fun and educational tasting.

There is one Plumm Wine Glass Experience per session and tickets cost $50. At the completion of the classes, each participant can take home the Plumm glassware tasting pack for home of 4 Plumm Glasses valued at $115. Tickets are available for purchase on Ticketek.
