FAR FROM ORDINARY TRADE TASTING LOS ANGELES OCT 01 WELCOME It is our pleasure to welcome you to the largest campaign we’ve ever put on in the United States. Dozens of winemakers have travelled here to share their outstanding wines and stories in six cities across the country. The Australian category in the US is on the rise. Shipment of premium Australian wines are at a 10-year high. There is no better time to experience the depth and uniqueness of Australian wine than right now. Today there are hundreds of different wines to taste, all of which are available in the US. And be sure to check out the Australian Wine Discovered Lounge that showcases our award-winning, free education program. From all of us at Wine Australia, thank you for coming to Far From Ordinary. We hope you enjoy the show. Cheers, Aaron Ridgway Regional General Manager, Americas Wine Australia 2 Far From Ordinary Roadshow 3 WINE REGIONS OF AUSTRALIA Darwin Western Australia 1.
