Will sommeliers have to retrain their palates if tannic styles of red are no longer needed to cut through the fat of a highly marbled wagyu sirloin? Will revered vintages of Grange and Hill of Grace Shiraz be destined to accompany a Tasmanian cheese platter rather than a plate of twice cooked beef spare ribs?
Donât get me wrong, Iâm not opposed to a vegetarian meal from time to time, and I do enjoy a spinach and ricotta ravioli as much as an Italian nona â¦. but, if we all become vegetarians, what does that mean for my own private red wine collection?

Premium Content The state s housing construction industry is on the brink of disaster, with the twin strains of the Black Summer bushfires and soaring international demand for quality pine predicted to cause a major shortfall in timber used for house frames. Industry bodies fear the state s supply of softwood pine could be exhausted as early as April - triggering rocketing construction costs and thousands of job losses. Hyne Timber CEO Jon Kleinschmidt is now appealing for timber that would usually be exported to China to be freighted from interstate to NSW for processing, but said transportation costs meant the move wasn t viable without government subsidies.
Heart Foundation
A project co-run by Snowy Valleys Council and the Murrumbidgee Local Health District has been named as the winner of the 2020 Healthy Town Challenge.
The challenge is an initiative of the Heart Foundation and the NSW Centre for Population Health. It supports regional and rural communities to facilitate healthy living activities to improve the health of their members.
Early last year, five communities – Condobolin, Holbrook, Murwillumbah, Muswellbrook/Denman and Snowy Valleys – received a grant of $15,000 each to bring their proposed projects to life. Today, the Snowy Valleys project, “Move & Grow”, was named the overall challenge winner, with the prize being an additional $5,000.

The past 12 months have been a year to remember . and one almost everyone would like to forget. A global pandemic killed more than 1.76 million people and shut down multiple nations, often more than once. The restaurant and travel industries were particularly devastated and have yet to recover; in the United States, more than 110,000 restaurants have permanently closed and the number is expected to rise.
Wildfires devastated parts of Australia and the U.S. West Coast, with the Glass Fire destroying buildings at more than two dozen Napa Valley wineries and other fires blanketing wine regions from Santa Cruz to Washington with heavy smoke for weeks. A trade battle between the U.S. and the E.U. continued to hurt wine importers, retailers and consumers.
