Below you can read about what I have been drinking lately. I love to write my wine tasting notes however you’ll notice that I don’t give wines points or ratings as I strongly believe in personal taste.
Seriously $36 for a HUGE cheese board and bottle of wine, it’s cheaper than making your own at home! Ambrook Wines is situated on West Swan Road about 5 minutes drive from Guildford and just down the road from Sandalford Estate. If you’re a walker or cyclist you could take the train to Guildford and…
Disclosure: The Travelling Corkscrew was hosted with compliments of Voyager Estate. This will be part 1 of 3 blog posts on Voyager Estate as I literally spent 5 hours at this fantastic Margaret River winery venue and each part of my day really deserves it’s own time in the limelight! Voyager Estate is a magnificent…
If I could only choose one drink to drink the rest of my life it would have to be Champagne. Those shimmering bubbles of happiness are just so darn good that I just can’t say no. Champagne is my heaven however you’ll also see me sipping on everything from Spanish Cava to Italian Prosecco and…
I set out on an epic mission this year. The mission: to try and document 365 different wines during 2013. I am on the downhill slope now having over 300 tucked under my belt and less than 65 to go. Is it challenging you ask? I would have to say, no not really. My aim…

If you simply have a thing for guys with accents then… What’s better on a rainy winter day in Perth than locking yourself up in a wine bar? Nothing, that’s what! This past Sunday I decided to check out French wine bar Must to see if it lives up to it’s reputation. My glass travelled…
New 2013 wine releases and new Great Britain cheese board… I don’t really need an excuse to devour scrumptious cheese and delectable wines. But hey when I heard Olive Farm Wines (OFW) had some 2013 wines out and The Cheese Barrel had a new regional cheese board on offer, I thought it would be rude…

I visited Tyler’s Vineyard shortly after…
