New release alert ‼️

Thank you Alkoomi for this sample bottle.

It’s a juicy dark red plum colour in the glass. Notes of black peppered berries and plums come through on the nose. Good oomph, super consumable and highly enjoyable. — a day ago

Happy International Riesling Day - 13 March 2023 🥂

We might be celebrating a few hours early but hey, wine not right 😉

Damn delicious. I love Tassie Riesling and this $30 bottle hit the spot. Pale yellow colour in the glass. Citrus, blossoms and iced tea aromas on hue nose. The palate it similar. I love the dry and thirst quenching-ness of it 😋

I must get back to Frogmore soon, we had an epic lunch there in 2019 🥳

Prepping for International Syrah Day this coming Thursday 16th of February 🥳

I bought this Aussie Syrah from Good Pair Days.

In the glass it’s a juicy plum colour. The nose is elegant and classy with currant and blueberries coming through, some smoked oak and spice. In the mouth it’s darn delicious. Warming and so easy to drink. Love ❤️ — 2 months ago

I kindly received this as a media sample - thank you Taylor’s!

Hello to this new release “flat bottle” Sauvignon Blanc made from South Australian fruit 🍇

These bottles are epic for things like camping, boating, the beach etc.

But what’s the wine actually like?

Look it’s a $17 bottle. It’s approachable, easy drinking and rather ‘not in your face’ for a Sauv Blanc. I like it! There’s herbaceous, citrus, green apple and a lick of gooseberries.

Now where’s that campfire 🔥 and s’more??

A cracker Shiraz from Chateau Tanunda in the Barossa Valley (SA) that I was kindly sent as a media sample (thank you!).

Deep garnet gemstone red in the glass 💎. Rich, berry-filled nose with black pepper, pencil shavings and black olives coming through for me. In the mouth it’s juicy and smooth.

All opinions are my own - drink what you enjoy!

I was kindly sent this rosé to taste and it has been an absolute delight to sip.

It’s the dry rosé you need in your life - it’s generous yet elegant, subtle yet you can’t stop going back for one more sniff/taste and it simply just makes you feel happy.

Thank you Chateau La Gordonne for literally making me stop and sniff the roses after such a manic week 💕

A delicious accompaniment to our Friday night steak dinner.

Thank you Berton Vineyard for this media sample.

In the glass it’s an opaque black plum shade. Notes of juicy black fruits and pepper on the nose. In the mouth it’s rich, high in alcohol at 14% and perfect with the steak and peppercorn sauce 😋 — 3 days ago

Thank you Alkoomi for sending this sample of your ‘22 Riesling my way 😋

In the glass it’s a crisp pale yellow. Honey blossom, spiced pear and lime leaves come through on the nose. In the mouth it’s juicy and flavoursome and begs to be teamed with a spicy Asian dish or some fresh squid rings 🤤 — 16 days ago

Media sample tasted on the 10th March 2023.

We enjoyed this with a steak dinner and boy was it a great accompaniment 😋

Virtually opaque black plum red colour in the glass (Cab Sauv Riedel WineWings). Blackberries and forest aromas on the nose. Full bodied, juicy and bloody scrumptious on the palate. A nice lick of tannins and lengthy finish 🤤

All opinions are my own, drink what you enjoy 😋
