You don’t have to be Warren Buffet to know that Forbes magazine is pitched at a mostly  US-based business clientele. And hopefully some are lovers of alternative red wines.

Curious US-based wine writer Cathrine Todd has investigated what she sees as the next cult trend in global wines – dried-grape  wines. Her research soon found the FREEMAN dried grape portfolio – FREEMAN Secco Rondinella Corvina and FREEMAN Robusta (100% Corvina) – from faraway Hilltops, NSW.

In celebration of a milestone occasion, internationally renowned UK-born pop artist Peter Phillips – contemporary of David Hockney and counterpart of Andy Warhol –  will inaugurate his newly-constructed gallery during the 2019 Noosa Food & Wine Festival.

An exhibition of works spanning the course of his influential six-decade career will be launched on Saturday 18 May when guests will sip FREEMAN Prosecco 2018 with  canapes by acclaimed Brisbane chef Josh Lopez, best known for his role at the lauded two-hat GOMA restaurant.

We think the award-winning FREEMAN Prosecco minimalist gold star label may appeal to this icon of the international arts world!
