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…
Rose wine and Indian lentil dahl with homemade flatbreads – seriously what is not to like about that combo? A big thank you to Terranu Wines for sending us over this sample of your 2019 Coonawarra Rose from South Australia to try. I love finding great wine and food matches and this was one of…
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…
It could definitely be the cooler weather, however it’s safe to say since having our bub that I’ve definitely reached for a glass of red over white. It’ll be interesting if that continues to happen!

When you are sent samples of the latest Penley Estate project wines, you most definitely have to make a night of it! And in my case that started in the bath, trying the two side by side in our Riedel stemless wine glasses.
Red wine + a delicious home cooked meal = my kind of Saturday night in. After drooling over A Secluded Foodie’s recent Turkish-style spicy lamb pide, I was very keen to try the recipe out. I was also keen to try out this bottle of Brand’s Laira Coonawarra ‘Blockers’ 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon. I added a…
