I received this Kiwi Pinot Noir for my birthday last month. It was a lovely gift from my brother & sister-in-law and it’s one I haven’t tried yet so naturally, it didn’t last long in our house unopened. When I reached out to Soho Wine Co on Instagram to ask them on how they’d recommend…
Saturday was Fizzy & Crackle’s 5 year adoption anniversary, so it seemed fitting to open this tipple. They’re very spoilt kitties too, that’s their luxe teepee in the photo behind the bottle. A big thanks to Dialogue PR for this sample bottle. You ladies nailed it on the head, cats + wine = one happy…
The Travelling Corkscrew has been heading along to Scarboroughs Sunset Wines since it started, back in 2014 and the event continues to evolve to suit the changing landscape of what alcoholic beverages Western Australians are enjoying.

Arlewood Wines are located in Margaret River and I’ve been lucky enough to try a few of their wines and really enjoyed them. These guys started up shop in 1984 and are also known for their sheep farming. This 2015 La Bratta Bianco is part of the Vino Bambino portfolio and I couldn’t wait to…

After visiting Tuscany back in 2011 it really sparked my love of Chianti and thanks to the team at Vino Bambino they recently introduced me…
I have a long-standing connection to Western Australia’s Great Southern region. As a kid, my family would pack up the car at least twice a year and drive the 4-5 hours to my Aunty and Uncles farm just East of Albany, where we would spend at least a week at a time catching Koonac’s from…
This was another one of the Toms Cap Vineyard Retreat tipples we enjoyed on our weekend stay at their vineyard cottages here in Gippsland last weekend. This 3 Dog 2017 Chardonnay is barrel fermented yet retains a lot of crisp freshness.
Tuesday’s are for Viognier! If you haven’t tried “vee-own-yay” before then it might be time. It’s grown around the world, it can be oaked and it typically has a silky oily texture to it. It’s a yummy white wine to compliment dishes that include lemongrass, almonds, and aromatic herbs.
