...stroll from room to room, sampling some of the country's best vintages and pairing them with great food. In the Aroma Room, your descriptive vocabulary will be expanded by an education in 50 kinds of scent, from caramel to orange blossom. In the Tasting Theatre (admission $45) sommeliers decant six top Australian bottlings in hourly tastings as the winemakers responsible for each one talk you through it in a video presentation (there's also a separate program of tastings with vintners in person).

...scientists had determined the problem and began treating the wood to remove the lignin, but in the process they often reintroduced other decants and acids. In the '50s and '60s, paper was sized-smoothed out for writing--with acidic salts--another decant. It was not until the 70s that mills were reengineered to manufacture alkaline paper, which, like paper made from cotton rags, has an extremely long life...
