A quick long weekend in NZ calls for plenty of fishing followed by plenty of #nzwine! Mr. Spittoon grabbed this bottle for us to enjoy from the bottle shop beside the boat ramp and boy did it go down well after I hauled in all those snapper;)
This will be the 87th Aussie Chardonnay I’ve logged in my Vivino wine app. I think I may be a bit of a Chardy fiend! The Royal 2018 Millon Estate Chardonnay is made from Eden Valley (South Australia) fruit. While maturing, this royal Chardy spends time in French oak (about 9 months) to help give…
When I’m in the mood for a good Chardonnay, I head to the cellar. I have a few stashed away in there (and by cellar, I mean the bottom of the laundry cupboard) that I’ve picked up along the way, including this Myattsfield Vineyards 2014 ‘The Flyer’ Chardonnay from WA’s Perth Hills. I picked this…
We’ve booked our flights to Tasmania!! I can’t wait! While doing some planning the other day we cracked into this Ninth Island 2017 Chardonnay from Tazzie to get our taste buds in the mood. Check out my Chardonnay Guide here >>
What a beauty on the inside and out. Not to mention the perfect vino after a 2-hour yoga session to celebrate Global Drink Wine Day with. ‘Do it once and do it well’ is the mantra of Freya Hohnen’s father for how he loved and made wine. One which she carries with her. I was…
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…
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…
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.
“I’m feeling like a Chardonnay, let’s go get some” – when Mr Spittoon whispers those words into my ear on a Saturday arvo, how can I resist. That’s one sexy invitation!
