NSW Wine Happy Hour is here!

Song Kitchen has always been proud to showcase a carefully curated wine list to our guests, courtesy of award-winning sommelier Sophie Otton. Not only are at least half of our wines made or owned by women, but there is also a strong focus on featuring local products, and in November Song Kitchen is participating in NSW Wine Happy Hour to showcase wines made in the beautiful regions of NSW.
For November only, we will be extending our daily happy hour to 4-6 pm, and a select range of wines grown and made in NSW will be just $6 a glass.
The wines we will be featuring are as follows:

• Glenguin Semillon, Hunter Valley
• Quilty & Gransden Pinot Gris, Orange
• Alte Chardonnay, Orange
• Alte Shiraz, Orange
• Vinifera Rosé, Mudgee

This special promotion is for one month only, so we hope to see you book in November to celebrate the amazing wines the NSW Wine Region has to offer!

Six principles on wine for Song

My intention at Song Kitchen was to create a compact but interesting wine list, using six guiding principles

Firstly, I wanted to focus mainly on smaller artisanal producers so the list would tantalise seasoned drinkers, with some medium-sized, more familiar labels so it wouldn’t be too obscure or alienating for less adventurous types.

Secondly, I wanted to emphasize NSW labels as much as possible, while representing all of Australia to some degree, and including a smattering of wines from overseas.

Also, a good mix of alternative grape varieties was important to provide different textures and styles to the mosaic of wines on offer, which allows for versatility in matching with the menu.

I also kept a close eye on the balance between quality and value, so customers could enjoy good wines without feeling like they were spending too much.

The overarching theme, however, was to actively ensure the list comprised of 50% female winemakers and/or female estate owners, as this concurred with the raison d’être of the YWCA, and the profit-for-purpose principle that underpins Song Kitchen.

The idea for this part of the brief supplied by Anna Bligh (former CEO) and Jon Ackary (Operations Director), who suggested strong female representation and wines from NSW might be particularly appropriate. As the list developed, the concept of a 50 per cent female winemaker/estate owner rule just seemed a logical standard, a quiet statement that reflected the core principles of the YWCA.

How eating at Song Kitchen can make a difference

Song Kitchen is a profit-for-purpose business, which means all proceeds help fund programs run by YWCA NSW which assist women, girls and other young people throughout the state.

NYE in Sydney: Things You Need to Know

Sydney transforms over the festive season, and the crowning jewel is New Year’s Eve, Parties, markets, and food festivals, there is no corner of the city left without celebratory sparkle.  

It can be very overwhelming if this is your first time here, so here are a few tips to help navigate Sydney on New Year’s Eve 

1. Leave the car behind: Sydney is notorious for its lack of parking options and confusing road layout, and it only gets worse as the crowds pour in.  There is a wealth of public transport options, that allow you to get around while admiring the beautiful and iconic Sydney landmarks. Extra bus, train, and light rail services are scheduled for New Year’s Eve, and make sure to leave additional time for travel as there will be plenty of people joining you in the celebrations. Follow this link to get more details on the public transport available  
2. Wear comfy shoes: We know, it’s NYE and you want to bust out your fanciest, least comfortable shoes BUT the reality of this evening is you could be doing more walking than you bargained for. Sydney is a very walkable city but it is enormous, so if the crowds cause train delays and you decide you might as well walk back to the hotel, your feet will thank us later.  
3. Make a Plan: It’s tempting to go with the flow, let the city decide where your night will end up. However, this will lead to frustration, bad fireworks views, and growling stomachs when every restaurant is booked out. Once you check in and have a relaxing tea or glass of wine, figure out what you want to do on NYE, make as many bookings as you can, and take as much stress out of the day as possible  

We hope you have an amazing time staying with us, and don’t forget to book a delicious and more relaxed NYE dinner at Song Kitchen
