Disclosure: I was invited along to the The Boulevard Hotel for this wine dinner. All opinions are my own honest wine-slurred words. Oh Tuscany, my dear beloved Tuscany. It’s everything and more than you imagine. Mr.Spittoon and I backpacked through Italy in 2011 and despite getting lost numerous times in the famous wine region it will forever…
Disclosure: Fraser’s invited Mr. Spittoon and myself along to their first From Trellis to Terrace: Tales from the Vine luncheon. Mr. Spittoon and I are still reminiscing about this lunch. We had such a wonderful afternoon full of great wine, food and company when we recently attended one of Fraser’s From Trellis to Terrace: Tales from the…
Honey and soy glazed pork belly with ginger and carrot pureeIf I could have one last meal (accompanied with wine of course) before the zombie apocalypse hit, it’d most likely be lunch at RiverBank Estate in the Swan Valley.

I have walked and drove past the sign for Valencia Vineyard Restaurant so many times in the last 12 months and have always wanted to give it a go for a bit of wining and lunching. I FINALLY managed to get there when my parents were over recently and I must admit, I am now…
I reckon Quentin Tarantino would be rather impressed with the Lucky Chan’s wine list in Northbridge. Why am I bringing Quentin into this you ask? Well it’s not hard to see that Lucky Chan’s, Perth’s first crowd-funded restaurant, has a strong Kill Bill theme to the skinny, tall venue which spans over 3 levels.
“A decanter is a vessel that is used to hold the decantation of a liquid (such as wine) which may contain sediment” – that’s what good old Wikipedia thinks anyway. To me, well it’s the new drinking hole less than 10 minutes walk from my office (yes I have a day job – something has to pay…
