DESCRIPTION:Antipodean Evening with a Taste of Australia & New Zealand\nWe all know and love the Australia-New Zealand rivalry. It’s a bit like watching siblings fight over Lego sets.

Regarding their wines\, Laurie digs into the data to see who does wine better and to settle the debate once and for all. \nJoin Laurie at the Robert Morris Inn for her hilarious show where Chef Salter’s food and wine meets punch line! Over a fine four course dinner\, Laurie peels back the labels of a customized selection of four accompanying wines for you and exposes the truth of her life in the wine business and as a mom in suburbia hell. Relax with a glass (or four!) of wine\, because with Laurie there are no formalities when it comes to drinking. This is a wine tasting and dinner you will never forget. \nCall 410-226-5111 to book now!
