This time I got my mum and sister-in-law to help me write a tasting note on this sample I kindly received from Good Pair Days (thank you!). I love hearing what others think of wines – everyone’s opinions are valid and it’s so interesting to hear what people pick up and if the wine agrees with their…
My last tasting note was for the Jacobs Creek 2007 Reserve Shiraz which we tried alongside this 2006 Jacob’s Creek Reserve Cab Sauv and I have to say I’m impressed with how they have both developed over the last 13-14 years.
While I’ve been travelling overseas, and to save sending presents for my birthdays over the years, my parents have bought wine and put it in the cellar for me. It’s a great way to build up a decent stash of wine and because it’s being kept many miles away, it means I don’t get stuck…
Naomi has been super busy down south and today on the blog she gives us a 2-day run down on what you can do in Denmark, Western Australia (with all activities involving wine of course!).

This Logan 2017 Shiraz was only released late last year. The Logan vines are some of the highest altitude vineyards in Australia. I also really like the label…

Start the year as you’re meant to go on, as they say!
Get in my belly Chardonnay!! We picked this Stoneleigh 2019 ‘Latitude’ Chardonnay up from the local supermarket here in NZ (yes you can buy wine & beer at the supermarket here!). Stoneleigh is situated in the heart of the Wairau Valley in NZ’s Marlborough wine region.
How can you say no to morning tea when it involves Christmas mince pies and NZ Pinot Noir. We popped up to see some family friends the other day and after a few minutes this little number from Framingham Wines was pulled out (thanks for sharing Bill!). ‘Nobody’s Hero’ 2018 Pinot Noir is made from…
