Did you catch my post a few weeks back about Vinomofo’s new “The Mofo Welcome Kit”? I was lucky enough to be sent a sample to try out, and let’s just say, this Chardonnay didn’t last long unopened.
This is not just another Riesling, trust me. Firstly a big thanks to Best’s Wines for sending me this new release sample of their 2018 ‘Foudre Ferment’ Riesling. This Riesling is part of their small parcel releases (aka there’s not a lot of it going around). Best’s are located in Victoria’s Great Western Grampians wine…
Named after Bert Kleining, a bachelor who worked the land which the fruit is now sourced from” I was recently sent samples from Atze’s Corner new Barossa Legends Red Collection to taste and it’s safe to say this Bachelor 2017 Shiraz didn’t last long unopened. Actually a fun fact for you, on the wine app…
We visited the Velo Wines cellar door on our trip to Tassie in April. Velo are located in the Tamar Valley, just out of Launceston in northern Tasmania. We actually popped in twice, as we wanted to drop off our box of wine to send back to Gippsland, although this was going to cost more…
When I spotted this Swinney ‘Tirra Lirra’ 2016 Riesling, Pinot Gris & Gewürztraminer on the Good Pairs Day website, I couldn’t resist to add it to this month’s TC Wine Club order.
My first sip of wine on my recent trip to Perth was this Bratty Nat Pét Nat from Marri Wood Park. Pét Nat aka Pétillant-Naturel describes the method for making this type of sparkling wine, it’s more rustic than making a bottle of champagne for example. You’ll typically find these bottles of bubbles are cloudy,…
This Storm Bay 2018 Pinot Noir from Tasmania was part of my sample Wine Selectors Customised Plan case from earlier in the year. Alongside 12 delicious bottles of wine, in the case I also received the latest Selector magazine and Wine Selectors ultimate Wine-Lovers Grape Guide.
It’s not often I drink wine liqueurs or ‘sweeties’, but occasionally I do have a craving! Recently I came across Cider Tonic’s stewed apple tonic recipe (which is good for your gut health by the way) and I couldn’t help but think that all that stewed apple would be great in a homemade apple pie….
I do love getting the decanter out. Do you decant many wines? Decanting wine serves two main purposes, firstly to aerate the wine (to help the aromas and flavours become more prominent) and secondly to seperate out any sediment in the wine. You’ll notice sediment in aged red wines and also in some vintage ports.
