Unfortunately I was out of the country over the Sunset Wine weekend this year so fellow wino, Ralph headed along with his wine squad to check it out. The weather may have been a bit up and down, but that didn’t stop the dedicated wine lovers out there like Ralph! A big thanks to CMS events…
A year ago Mr. Spittoon and I made our first trip down to the Great Southern wine region. We spent a long weekend in Denmark and loved it! To us the region reminded us of New Zealand with the rolling hills, coastline and of course because of all the green. If we could we’d be…
After a pretty mild winter and a warm Spring it’s no surprise that the Swan Valley have already began picking their grapes for the 2016 Swan Valley wines. In fact it’s the earliest wine harvest in the region in the past 20 years and it is most likely one of the earliest in Australia this year.
Seriously you can’t go wrong spending an arvo sipping on Great Southern Riesling, enjoying delightful canapes and listening to live music. Mr. Spittoon and I just got home from Raising Riesling at the Perth Royal Yacht Club so I thought I would share some pictures from the event as I protest against the thought of…

After Michelle Payne was the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup the other day I thought it would be a good time to give a bit of a holla to an upcoming event in Perth to celebrate women in the Australian wine industry. The first ever Australian Women in Wine Awards is taking…

As most of you are aware, I recently teamed up with the good folk from Explore Tours Perth to run a ‘Travelling Corkscrew Wine Appreciation Tour’ of the Swan Valley. After literally weeks of anticipation and planning it finally took place on Saturday October 3rd (yes grand final day) and boy what a day it…
Wohoo! I’m excited as UnWined is at the end of October and it is one of my favourite wino events of the year. I went to the festival in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and I have to admit the line-up for 2015 is looking pretty spectacular with over 40 wineries exhibiting alongside a range of street…
