Just a hot tip, Father’s Day is 5 weeks tomorrow. And if your Dad is anything like mine, then he loves his wine. Which makes present shopping very easy. The lovely team at Dialogue PR + Communications recently sent me this lovely free gift (thank you!) of the Grant Burge Wines ‘Filsell’ 2018 Old Vine Shiraz from SA’s Barossa Valley. And I…
Do you enjoy your lo-fi wines? If so, you may want to save this post. And if you’re not sure what lo-fi means, head to Google as it’s a unique term to describe the natural / minimal intervention / sustainable wine movements.
Sometimes I wonder how many people stop reading my blog because I’m always posting about Chardonnay 😉 I wonder for a second, then I pour myself another glass of Chardy and start writing my next post on it.
It may be winter, but I still enjoy my Prosecco! This little number from See Saw Wines – Jarrett’s comes from the Orange wine region in NSW.

Here’s an outstanding Chardonnay for all my fellow Chardy lovers out there. Singlefile Wines in WA’s Great Southern region (Denmark to be exact) have recently released their flagship white wine, the 2017 ‘The Vivienne’ Denmark Chardonnay.

So this is how I spent my Shiraz Wine Day last night. I dipped into the cellar for this Gilbert Wines 2012 Reserve Shiraz which we bought from the cellar door in WA’s Great Southern back in 2017. And oh my, it’s drinking beautifully – you were right Clint!
96 Points in the 2020 Halliday Wine Companion, Gold Medal at the 2019 Royal Adelaide Wine Show and a Gold Medal at the 2019 Rutherglen Wine Show are just some of the accolades this Taltarni Vineyards 2017 Old Vine Estate Shiraz has received Wow!
You know you’ve got great neighbours when they give you a bottle of Woodlands 2012 ‘Margaret’ to drink. We popped it in the wine fridge (hence the snapshot from my OENO by Vintec cellar app) however it lasted all of 2 days in there before I had to hit that ‘consume’ button in the app.
