Hirsch Hills 2017 Chardonnay Tasted on the 16th of May 2020 What’s wrong with this picture? There’s clearly not enough wine in my glass is what’s wrong with it.. haha! A big thanks to Hirsch Hill Estate in VIC’s Yarra Valley for sending over this 2017 Chardonnay for us to try. It barely lasted 2…
I’m not going to lie, I got absolutely spoilt on Mother’s Day. My boys definitely looked after me with freshly baked scones with jam & cream + this beautiful bottle of champagne. This Joseph Perrier Cuvée Brut ‘Josephine’ is named after Joseph’s daughter as he made this bubbles for her wedding. Which explains the gorgeous…
Yay for 5 weeks old this week! And sticking with tradition, Mr Spittoon and I celebrated with a bottle of bubbly 🙂 This week we cracked into this sample bottle of the Yarra Burn 2019 Prosecco from the King Valley. You can find it at Dan Murphy’s for around $17.

Yes I’m a little obsessed with my unique white wine blends at the moment. This one is a blend of mostly Fiano and Chenin Blanc grapes – two varieties I love by themselves. And when combined, they are pretty tasty too! I received this sample of the Sherrah 2018 ‘White et al’ from Good Pair Days (thank you!!)….
Seriously, who can resist a wine with doggies ? on the label? Not me! So what’s the significance of the dogs on this bottle of small batch Rusty Mutt wine? Well the winemaker, Scott Heidrich, was born in the year of the ‘Metal Dog’ according to Chinese astrology. Rusty Mutt is his passion project as he currently…
So I definitely had a bit of baby brain over March and April as I ordered this Comyns & Co. 2017 Mrs White Blend from the Hunter Valley (NSW) not once but twice in a row without realising it. I aim to order new wines each time.
