Great producer name. Are you sure the fruit came from Tasmania or from the Adelaide Hills?

@Bob McDonald You’re exactly right! 2022 Ministry Of Clouds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is this wine! I did not notice it came up as Tasmania; @Delectable Wine needs to add this wine to their database. Bob, Thanks for the note! Cheers

McLaren Vale Grenache 2021

I made no notes at the restaurant so doing this from memory. Firstly when the menu is degustation, I never get the matching wine option, preferring to choose a bottle that goes with all courses as much as possible. This light to medium bodied Grenache fits the bill and ticks all the boxes - best district for Grenache in Australia; old vine Grenache, a terrific vintage in South Australia; and a hands off, alternate producer. Grenache can be such a chameleon from barely medium weight with stalky red fruits like this one, with a lovely red floral perfume, to full bodied versions like Rayas and Bonneau Celestins. Barb and I really enjoyed this. Also, Delectable, this was a Grenache Carignan blend - not offered in your database. Continuing our road trip through the Mornington Peninsula. — 4 months ago

Yes , David. I like what we call BYOs in Australia where we can “Bring Your Own” with a corkage charge. A great idea!
