This is how we spent our Saturday night. Can you really go wrong? I don’t think so. A big thanks to Cape Mentelle in WA’s Margaret River region for sending over this sample for us to try. It’s an intriguing blend of Shiraz 65%, Grenache 15%, Tempranillo 7%, Sangiovese 4%, Zinfandel 4% Mourvedre 3%, Viognier…
Happy fizzy Friday! Yes if you haven’t heard, Friday’s are perfect for drinking bubbles. What’s even better is if you can make it a frizzante fizzy Friday. Frizzante is an Italian term meaning ‘slightly sparkling’ or ‘semi sparkling’. And that’s the style that Soumah from VIC’s Yarra Valley has made their sparkling 2020 Brachetto in….
Hands up if you’re a Semillon lover? I love versatile grapes which can produce a range of sweet, dry, still and sparkling wines and that’s exactly what the golden-skinned Semillon grape can do. This here is the perfect example of a dry still white wine made from 100% Semillon grown in WA’s Margaret River region….

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…
I’m just going to sit here by my Vintec wine fridges and indulge. Seriously though, if you have a bottle of Moss Wood wine in the house, it’s 100% tempting to hog it all to yourself 😉 Thank you Clare, Keith and the Moss Wood team for this sample of your 2018 Pinot Noir. I pulled out…
I’m a sucker for aged Chenin Blanc, especially when it’s from John Kosovich Wines in Perth’s Swan Valley. I was kindly sent this sample bottle of their 2014 Bottle Aged Reserve (thank you!) and I enjoyed it as I made my annual family’s traditional Christmas cookies. Chenin Blanc is a white wine grape originally from France….
