If you’re looking for a classic, 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from a cool climate, be sure to check out this Hollydene 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are sourced from the Hilltops region in South Western NSW. I personally think it’s drinking really well right now, however if you have a the patience, it would…
Recently I came across a lentil spaghetti bolognese recipe and oh my it’s delicious and it is so darn easy to make. Which is a win, win in my books! Oh and it goes pretty nicely with Cabernet Sauvignon too 😉 A big thank you to the team at Terranu Wines who kindly sent us…
I do love when family friends pull out the nice wine when we visit 😉 It’s a good sign they know what we like. Okay let’s be honest, who has a selection of wine for certain guests and ones for other guests? You know exactly what I’m talking about 😉 This Tahbilk 2017 ‘Family Series’…
Georgie Orbach 2019 ‘Cab Sav’ Thank you Georgie Orbach Wines for sending us this sample bottle of your newly released 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon to taste.

You can tell a lot of love has gone into this Heirloom Vineyards 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra (SA)… “Hand tended vines, sorted bunch-by-bunch, naturally open fermented, basket pressed and stored in French oak barriques from bespoke coopers.” I don’t know about you, but that sounds all a bit romantic to me. Not to mention…
Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 I kindly received this sample of the Moss Wood 2018 Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon to taste recently (thank you!!) and while it’s most definitely in its infancy, this Margaret River Cab Sauv is going to be enjoyed for years to come. I believe Moss Wood recommend at least 10 years…
Steak, salad and red wine. Don’t you love those ‘nearly’ summer evenings! Thank you Marriwood for sending over this sample of your 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. I popped it in my Riedel Cab Sauv specific glass (I.e. the glass that’s as big as my head and it can fit a whole bottle in, *apparently*). Here’s a bit…
