The 20th of July 2019 signifies two momentous milestones in history: It was the day man took one small step on the surface of the moon 50 years ago (1969). And on that same day in 1969 Bill Taylor first stepped foot on the now renowned Taylors Wines estate in South Australia’s Clare Valley. This…
Last month, Mr Spittoon and I had a Bingo party thanks to the team at Baily & Baily. To help celebrate the release of their new 1 Litre bottles, we were sent an ultimate party pack full of all sorts of goodies. We had a really fun night, playing Bingo and eating and drinking of…

Introducing Meta Wine – a small batch, organic wine producer based in Melbourne. As soon as these guys reached out to me, I loved their brand. Do you know why? Because I am 100% an internet geek, and for me, when I hear ‘meta’ I immediately think of metadata you add to your website for…
