Patrick Sullivan

Britannia Creek Chardonnay 2023

I think it is the Britannia chardy, but i might be wrong
It's his entry level

Simple, clean and very enjoyable
Just a tiny touch of oak to make it creamier
Only 32 AUD

Las Rocas Calatayud Garnacha 2015

Ah, quarantine you are so much better with wine. Found this gem because I am always on the lookout for a good Garnacha — 5 years ago

Denis Jamain (Domaine de Reuilly)

Reuilly Pinot Gris 2015

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this final afternoon with Steve Martin and Martin Short, along with The Steep Canyon Rangers and Jeff Babko.

Nose has green grapes, cherry skin and steely minerals. Palate is rich with acidity, light but fresh pineapple, zingy crabapple and red currant. Lovely after and hour or so of air, likely close to peak, remaining bottles should be enjoyed before mid-2020.

Ronchi di Cialla

Colli Orientali del Friuli Schioppettino di Cialla 2016

A new tasting experience on several levels. Had never heard of or tasted this grape varietal, Schioppettino. I was looking for a lighter red off the menu at Settimo, Guy Grossi’s new Brisbane venture. Chosen purely because of its location in Friuli ie. cooler climate. The Somm was in the dark but the wine ended up being a revelation. Red cherry and cranberry - intense white pepper on nose and palate. Dried red florals. Love this style. Will be on the lookout for this Cuvée in the future. — a year ago

North east Italy is a hidden gem for wines.
Right up against the Dolmite Mountains, warm days, cool nights.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige really deliver.
Foradori, Franz Haas and Alois Lageder
are producers I look for.

Totally agree Jamie. I generally love cooler climate wines. In Italy the Valle d’Aosta is another example next to the Swiss Alps in the north west.

Absolutely.
Pinot Nero…(Pinot Noir) .. from Lombardy will impress you.

Henri Bourgeois

Haute Victoire Quincy Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Nose has freshly mowed field, spring rain, light salinity, grapefruit peel and white florals.

Palate has refreshing tart (medium) lemon/grapefruit blend, wet grassy notes and great Kimmeridgian core.

Great QPR, Quincy is a wonderful alternative to Sancerre, and well worth a market search. A lightly imported AOC, but also be on the lookout for Menetou-Salon and Reuilly, which neighbor Quincy to the East and West, respectively.

Brut Ribolla Gialla

Really fun, really bright acidity, and dangerously drinkable. The RG provides some interesting taste notes. Will be on the lookout for our RG sparklers in the future. ⚡️👀 — 7 years ago

Premature check in and that’s what I got. Angry and upside down for 2 hours then lookout! Intense complex nose. — 2 years ago

Mas Martinet

Menut Priorat Red Blend

I am always on the lookout for a good Priorat. Menat is one. Lots of blackberry and minerality. Hint of iron. Notwithstanding the bold flavors, the wine is a little dry on the tongue. The finish is a bit sour, but not enough to spoil a well made effort. — 4 years ago

Hobo Wine Company

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Was wondering if my tastes moved away from this in the last 18 months, but I’m impressed once again with my last bottle of this 2016. I may be repeating myself, but this brings out much of the greatness of CA Cab Sauv (dark fruit, spice, graphite, cedar, incense) without the ponderous new oak attack and flabby extraction. High acid CS, great with food, absolutely ridiculous at $20. Will be on the lookout for more. Enjoyed with homemade burgers and fries. — 5 years ago
