Welcome to Dandelion. Our Menu Features a Very Personal Welcome to Dandelion. Our menu features a very personal showcase of dishes inspired by the Cuisine of Vietnam. A rich and diverse cuisine that exhibits a wonderfully intoxicating combination of the raw and the cooked, the hot and the cold, the sweet and sour. The Vietnamese are known for their philosophical balancing of the five elements, wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Vietnamese dishes include five fundamental taste senses, sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty. You will see this principal and sensitivity reflected throughout our menu and Wine List. These dishes cry out for very specific wines and with our Wine List we have selected a short catalogue of gems that we believe will best showcase the food. This is not a ‘greatest hits’ wine list with hundreds of entries that cover all flavors and intensities. This wine list is focused very closely on the food at Dandelion. Vietnamese food is strongly influenced by the food of China, India and the Khmer, as well as the myriad of sea- going traders that have graced its serpentine coastline. Rather uniquely this fusion of cuisines has then been judiciously molded and refined by the French, resulting what we believe is the most elegant, distinct and certainly most WINE FRIENDLY of all the Asian cuisines. You will notice a distinct lack of big, blousy, overly worked whites and heavily tannic reds, we believe these styles are too boisterous for our food. Instead we are strong on fragrant whites, fruit driven reds and even perhaps undervalued wine varietals from regions new and old. Ultimately the list is full of highly compatible wines, where in combination enhance both the food and the wine experience. As an added bonus you will probably try a new wine and with a bit of luck find new a ‘favourite’. We hope you enjoy the experience.

Champagne Laurent-Perrier • Tours-sur-Marne, France Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is the oldest continuously family owned House in Champagne! Renowned for its innovation and passion, the Nonancourt family’s independent spirit is the driving force behind the creation of unique and highly sought after Champagne. Laurent-Perrier has grown to become universally recognised for its spirit of independence. Today the House is led by sisters Alexandra and Stephanie du Nonancourt. Their father Bernard was responsible for the giant leaps in the fortunes of L-P, and in the development of dry, aperitif styled Champagne. In a blinding flash of genius, Bernard introduced a higher percentage of chardonnay at a time when Champagne tended to be sweet, served from a coupe at the end of a meal. He wanted the house style to be light and refreshing, and above all, to reflect the land on which it was produced. The pioneer of dry champagne! It is this sense of elegance and purity that has become the hallmark of Laurent-Perrier’s wines. A clear determination to abide by long established traditions: respect for nature and wine, and an unrelenting dedication to quality. NV Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut 26/145 Made exclusively from only the ripest fruit, blended from 15 crus, it is a no-dosage champagne. Very pale and crystal bright in the glass, a complex nose shows aromas of citrus, white peach and honeysuckle. NV Laurent-Perrier Brut L-P 22/130 A ‘non-vintage’ is always an expression of the House style, and is the signature champagne.

  • Australia: Increased Market Access Under the TPP-11 Agreement
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 5/1/2018 GAIN Report Number: AS1812 Australia Post: Canberra Increased Market Access Under the TPP-11 Agreement Report Categories: Trade Policy Monitoring Agriculture in the News Approved By: Rey Santella, Agricultural Counselor Prepared By: Roger Farrell, Agricultural Specialist Report Highlights: Australia is expected to improve its global competitiveness as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) Agreement is likely to reduce tariffs and provide significant market access in key markets. Australian beef, pork, fruits, wine, and grains are likely to benefit from the preferential treatment and new trade facilitation arrangements provided under CPTPP. Overview The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), also known as TPP-11, was signed on March 8, 2018. Members of the agreement include Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. Overall, the CPTPP will eliminate more than 98 percent of tariffs in the TPP-11 markets, according to the Australian government (see following link: http://dfat.gov.au/trade/agreements/not-yet-in-force/tpp-11/outcomes- documents/Pages/tpp-11-outcomes-at-a-glance.aspx. In 2017, Australia’s agricultural exports to the TPP-11 countries accounted for more than 20 percent of Australia’s total agricultural exports. According to an Australian Parliament assessment, the CPTPP creates valuable new market access opportunities in two TPP-11 markets where Australia does not currently have a free trade agreement (FTA), namely Canada and Mexico.
