DESCRIPTION:The first Kelvin Club wine lunch of the year is a chance for members to support the dozens of winemakers who lost vineyards, property, wine, and livelihoods in the awful January bushfires.\n\nYou can help by buying some wine from one of the affected producers (see link below) and then bringing a bottle along to share with other members over lunch.\n\nMax Allen hosts our special guest for the day, Gilles Lapalus, of Maidenii vermouth and Maison Lapalus and Bertrand Bespoke Wines, whose winemaking equipment, barrels, vermouth ingredients and personal cellar were lost in the Harcourt coolstore fire. Gilles will give us an insight into what it means to be impacted by such a life-changing event.\n\nCost for lunch is $55. A special extra corkage fee of $20 per bottle will go into the fundraising pot. Please bring more cash and/or your credit card for other fundraising opportunities on the day.\n\nAll proceeds will go to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal: <a href="https://www.vic.gov.au/2026-Victorian-Bushfire-Appeal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.vic.gov.au/2026-Victorian-Bushfire-Appeal</a>\n\nWine Victoria’s list of producers affected by the fires can be found at:\n<a href="https://winevictoria.org.au/pages/supporting-victorian-wineries-impacted-by-recent-bushfires" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://winevictoria.org.au/pages/supporting-victorian-wineries-impacted-by-recent-bushfires</a>\n\nIt’s best to buy direct, through the producer's website, but some also have a retail presence in Melbourne – for example:\n\nFowles Wines – the Ladies Who Shoot Their lunch brand is available from Dan Murphys, Liquorland, Cloudwine and others\nMaidenii vermouths - Dan Murphys, Cardwell Cellars\nSutton Grange and Fairbank Wines – Cloudwine, Blackhearts and Sparrows, Rathdowne Cellars\nBress - Cloudwine\nJoshua Cooper - MW Wines\nBlackjack Wines – Cloudwine and other independent retailers\n\nYou can search for stockists using <a href="https://www.wine-searcher.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.wine-searcher.com</a>\n\n<strong>Date:</strong> February 13th,2026\n<strong>Time:</strong> 12:30PM\n<strong>Where:</strong> The Kelvin Club\n\n<a href="https://www.trybooking.com/DJCNV" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><button>BOOK HERE</button></a>
