Bitter taste over Tasting event future

The organisers of the Tasting Australia food and wine festival in Adelaide say they are mystified about not being asked to tender again to run the event. Ian Parmenter and his business partner David Evans say they have ended a 16-year involvement after the South Australian Tourism Commission indicated they might not be reappointed. Mr Parmenter says he cannot understand the attitude of the Tourism Commission given the wide exposure generated for SA by Tasting Australia, reports ABC News.
