I do love me a red wine matched to a bbq feast. Mr Spittoon recently cooked up some sausages and meatball + halloumi skewers and they went down a treat with this limited release Shiraz. Thank you Leigh & the team at Berton Vineyard for sharing this sample bottle with me.
Tasted on 24 November 2020 Rosé bubbles anyone? Thank you very much Taltarni for sending us a sample of your 2013 new release Cuvée Rosé to taste. It was the perfect after work tipple – in fact I didn’t even take the time to change out of my work shirt, I was that eager to…
Happy birthday to my wine-partner in crime, Mr Spittoon. It’s safe to say we started the celebrations early on the weekend and popped this lovely bottle of Pink Prosecco we were sent as a gift (thank you Grupetto Vino). It was the perfect accompaniment for pizza night.
Carrying on with my summer wine trends (see the full post on the blog for some pretty exciting new products out), next up is sustainable drinking.

Steak, salad and red wine. Don’t you love those ‘nearly’ summer evenings! Thank you Marriwood for sending over this sample of your 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. I popped it in my Riedel Cab Sauv specific glass (I.e. the glass that’s as big as my head and it can fit a whole bottle in, *apparently*). Here’s a bit…
Black Wattle 2020 Limestone Coast Rose Tasted on 18 November 2020 Wine, pyjamas and Netflix. This pretty much sums up every night of the week for me Speaking of which, any recommendations? I’ve just finished watching The Queen’s Gambit. Rosé is a fantastic match with pyjamas and Netflix too. Thank you Cellarmasters for helping me perfect that pairing…
Tasted on 18 November 2020 We loved our trip to Tassie last year. In fact Mr Spittoon and I have even flirted with the idea of moving down there at some point. While staying in Launceston we visited the Clover Hill cellar door and it’s absolutely beautiful! These guys really focus on making extraordinary sparkling…
