Tassie home to cool vino

Cool climate grapes may be the only grapes that grow in Tasmania but the state is about to reap the benefits. For the first time, and only the second time in Australia, the International Cool Climate Wine Symposium will be held in Hobart next week. The Symposium, held every two to three years, was last held in Seattle, US, where Tasmania made its formal bid to host the 2012 event, reports The Mercury.
