Oh yes we so did. When I was back in Perth recently we totally raided Naomi’s wine cellar. Naomi has visited the Great Southern region a couple of times this year and she most definitely brought back some tasty loot. One of those bottles was this Castle Rock Estate 2018 Porongurup Riesling produced by winemaker…
When I spotted this Swinney ‘Tirra Lirra’ 2016 Riesling, Pinot Gris & Gewürztraminer on the Good Pairs Day website, I couldn’t resist to add it to this month’s TC Wine Club order.
The Albany Wine and Food Festival was the perfect way to spend a Saturday in April. The weather and backdrop were gorgeous, the people delightful and the wine and food were just AMAZING!
As a part of Taste Great Southern, I was invited to attend a number of wine-focused events, but it also meant that I had some time to go off exploring. I was hungry for Albany produce and local wine and I wanted an equally gorgeous setting, which, let’s be honest, isn’t that hard when you’re…

The latest to add to the list is Kalamata olives marinated in oil and balsamic with this new release 3drops 2018 Great Southern Chardonnay. I had already written my tasting note for the wine and then I had a…
Pulled pork bao buns and a Pinot Gris + Riesling + Gewurtztraminer white blend, what’s not to like about that combo. I didn’t realise how easy and quick bao buns are to make at home, I think I’ll be making these more often plus this bottle of Empirica by Castelli Estate Wines 2018 Fiore Del…
Vermentino is where it’s at peeps. If you’re a newbie to this grape variety then this Empirica by Castelli Estate Wines 2018 Vermentino is a great one to start with. But buy at least 2 bottles as 1 bottle is definitely not enough. A big thanks to Castelli from the Frankland River in WA’s Great…
I have a long-standing connection to Western Australia’s Great Southern region. As a kid, my family would pack up the car at least twice a year and drive the 4-5 hours to my Aunty and Uncles farm just East of Albany, where we would spend at least a week at a time catching Koonac’s from…
I have been hanging out to try this brand new Western Australian made sparkling wine for so long now! If you haven’t already heard, this is 3drops first ever sparkling wine. The 3drops Blanc de Noir 2017 is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from the 2017 vintage. It’s made in the traditional method which…
