415 – Surrealism In Wine And Life With Chester Osborn
Chester Osborn from d’Arenberg sits with Steve Davis at the Duke Of Brunswick, to reflect on the Surrealism that embodies his remarkable Cube filled with Salvador Dali’s melting clocks, exploring how an array of surrealist art, quantum physics theories, and 23 single vineyard shiraz wines challenge our relationship with time, while they taste the Vociferate Dipsomaniac 2010 that evolves like a living thing in the glass. When a winemaker builds a giant Rubik’s cube in McLaren Vale, fills it with Salvador Dali sculptures and art, and creates wines that pair with songs and poems, you know you’re about to discover something extraordinary. Chester Osborn has constructed what shouldn’t work but absolutely does – a surrealist manifesto planted in the heart of South Australian wine country that would make André Breton proud and the Márek Brothers, those Czech surrealist pioneers who shocked Adelaide in 1948, absolutely delighted.
