Australian Women in Wine Awards Night 2015 – The Winners
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural Australian Women in Wine Awards Night at Rigby’s Bar in Perth City – and what a wonderful evening it was!
The Spirit of the Great Southern Wine Region in a Glass
Behind every great wine there’s a story to be told. Whether it’s how the wine was made, where it came from, who helped produce it or for what particular purpose it was made. Half the fun of being involved in the wine world is finding out these stories and sharing them over a glass or…
Wine Folly – The Essential Guide to Wine Book
I’m a big fan of the Wine Folly team and the way they share their excellent wine knowledge with the world. I was lucky enough to interview the one and only Madeline Puckette last year and when I heard she was producing a physical wine book with Justin Hammack, well I just had to have…
The Australian Women in Wine Awards 2015
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…
Killerby Wines & Cheeky Monkey Brewery Margaret River
Yes you read that right ‘cellar store’ not ‘cellar door’. Killerby Wines definitely deserves to stand out from the crowd when you see their most beautiful cellar store in Margaret River.

Mann Winery – A Must Visit In The Swan Valley
The cellar door barely opens for 6 months out of 12 months in the year. Each year the new wine is released on the 1st of August after being aged for 2 years in the cellar and then once it’s sold, the cellar door closes back down for the year.
Whicher Ridge Wines & The Wine Sensory Garden
The more ‘off the grid’ a winery is, the more it seems to entice me. And it’s these wineries which I hesitate blogging about or putting on social media because I really do want to keep them all to myself – no one likes to battle a crowd at their favourite winery right?! In this…
Homemade Food & Local Wines at Valencia Vineyard Restaurant
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…
