Bird on a Wire 2016 Syrah – Yarra Valley

We recently cracked into a few of our Tassie wine purchases. This Pooley Wines 2017 Butchers Hill Chardonnay I fell in love with at the cellar door. By the way, the customer service was fantastic at Pooley. I also liked how Pooley and so many cellar doors have stools at the tasting bench, so you’re…
Earlier in the week you may have caught my tasting note for the McW Reserve 660 Cabernet Sauvignon which Mr Spittoon and I both really enjoyed. This 2017 Syrah from Canberra is the partner wine in the range, also retailing for $25. Before I get stuck in, I just want to say a big thank…

Pinot and chocolate, two of my favourite things for a night in! I received this new release Bird on a Wire sample from winemaker, Caroline Mooney (thank you) recently. There were only 133 dozen cases produced, so I feel privileged to be one of the lucky ones to taste it.
If you’ve been following along my tasting notes over the last few weeks then you may have spotted my tasting notes for the whites in Logan’s Weemala range. A big thank you to Logan Wines for sending me these new release samples to taste.
I am working on blog posts from our Tassie trip – I’ve just got so much to share that it’s taking a little while, so bear with me. In the meantime though, I have been sipping on some of our purchases for inspiration. This Beautiful Isle Wines 2016 ‘White Delicious’ from northern Tasmania’s Tamar Valley…
So this was our Saturday night. The heater was on, we watched both Kingsman movies and we downed this bottle of delicious red wine which was sent to us as a sample from Dialogue PR to taste (thank you!).
Have you heard the news? The Wine Gallery is now known as Good Pair Days. The company has a whole new look plus a wider variety of wines to choose from for #thetcwineclub! I couldn’t resist picking this Southern Rhone Valley (France) La Ruchette Doree 2017 Rosé for this month’s 3-pack.
