Mount Avoca focus on producing organic wine from their Victorian winery based in Pyrenees wine region. They grow, made and bottle all their wines onsite and even offer “Eco-Luxe” lodges accomodation at the vineyard. Who doesn’t love a winery escape am I right?

I admit it, I bought this Punt Road Airlie Bank Pinot Noir Chardonnay Brut NV sparkling because I loved the label and I thought the cap would look brilliant in my Wearing Memories ring 😉 It’s a $20 bottle made from 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir from VIC’s Yarra Valley. A small portion of…
There were just a few bottles of bubbles popped at our house over the last few weeks. I was kindly sent this bottle of Tasmanian NV Sparkling from the good folks at Handpicked Wines to taste recently (thank you!). I really wanted to get some mussels to go with it as the label had me…
