Australian Wine Oasis at the 32nd Annual Chicago Jazz Festival & Crowded House Concert:
Music, Wine & Entertainment

The Board of ANZACC Midwest would like to invite members and friends to the Australian Wine Oasis at the 32nd Annual Chicago Jazz Festival and the Crowded House Concert in Chicago.

Following the success of last year’s Australian Wine Oasis, the Chicago Jazz Festival will again play host to Wine Australia, as they offer an escape from the hustle and bustle right in the middle of Grant Park at this year’s Festival, taking place September 4th and 5th.

In an effort to allow Chicagoans to open up to wines from Australia, Wine Australia has established a haven for Jazz Fest attendees to relax under the shade of umbrellas in a modern lounge atmosphere while enjoying delicious and unique Australian wines.  Attendees will be able to purchase wines by-the-glass or by the 2oz sample, allowing the option of a mini-wine tasting. Click here for more information.

After you’ve wet your whistle, join alternate pop band, The Crowdies, featuring Kiwi Neil Finn – Guitar / Vox / Piano; Aussie Nick Seymour – Bass; American Mark Hart – Guitar / Keys; and American Matt Sherrod – Drums.  Click here for more information.  Also, click here to check out the Overseas with Love blog by ANZACC Midwest Director, Jessica Reynolds.
