Best’s Wines are excited to announce winemaker Adam Wadewitz has been awarded joint dux of the Len Evans tutorial class of 2009. Adam shares the prestigious title with Stuart Halliday, sommelier at Tetsuya’s restaurant in Sydney.

Described by James Halliday as “the most exclusive wine school in the world”, The Len Evans Tutorial aims to raise the standards of Australian wine by educating Australia’s best sommeliers, winemakers and trade representatives. Over an intensive five days, the 12 scholars are subjected morning tastings of 30 varietal wines from up to five countries, spanning up to 30 years of vintages from some of the world’s best wineries.

Adam was thrilled to be named dux of his class, describing the tutorial as “a week of amazing and inspiring wines. It was very humbling to receive this award – I didn’t realise the magnitude of this event until I was a part of it. It truly is a once in a lifetime experience to taste some of the world’s best wines in context.”
