On the 11th day of Christmas, The Wine Gallery sent to me, a bottle of Toscolo 2016 Chianti from Tuscany in Italy. If you saw my video this morning, then you’ll know as soon as I opened door number 11 on my advent calendar and saw this, I was destined to have a tomato-based pasta. There…
The Travelling Corkscrew was recently invited to Pandemonium Estate to experience their new Pintxos & Wine Flights – thank you very much for inviting us! As it’s a bit far for me to travel from Victoria, Naomi kindly put her hand up to go on my behalf. It looked like incredibly hard work 😉 A…

On the 7th day of Christmas, The Wine Gallery sent to me (thank you) a bottle of Unico Zelo ‘Harvest’ 2017 Chardonnay from SA’s Adelaide Hills in my wine advent calendar. Yeah, so I did it. I had Chardonnay with my lunch today. Having a wine with lunch on a Friday back when I worked…
