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…
I don’t know what it’s like where you are, however where Mr Spittoon and I live, it’s starting to get cold and winter is definitely on the way. One of, if not my favourite thing on a cold night, is getting all rugged up in bed and sipping red wine. Due to how our current…
I wouldn’t normally think about having an aged SBS (Sauvignon Blanc Semillon). This one here from Hollydene Estate is from the 2015 vintage, so 6 years old currently! And you know what? You’d never guess it from the taste! Well there are a couple of hints but it’s still so fresh and juicy. A big…
Is it too soon for another Chardonnay tasting note? I mean it has been 3 days since my last one.. 😉 A big thank you to Hollydene Estate who kindly sent us this sample bottle of their Wybong Upper Hunter Valley Wooded Chardonnay 2013 to taste. Both Mr Spittoon and I are die-hard fans of…

Next question is what should we crack for that milestone? Actually it’s tempting to buy…
Monday nights are better when Holly is around! A big thanks to Hollydene Estate Wines in the Hunter Valley for this fun bottle of 2020 Rosé bubbles. It’s made from 40% Shiraz and 60% Semillon and is made by the “Charmat” method aka the ‘tank method’. Which means fermentation occurs inside of stainless steel tanks rather than…
Happy birthday to my wine-partner in crime, Mr Spittoon. It’s safe to say we started the celebrations early on the weekend and popped this lovely bottle of Pink Prosecco we were sent as a gift (thank you Grupetto Vino). It was the perfect accompaniment for pizza night.
Tasted on 20-10-20 We’ve made a few Spanish omelette’s in our time but they haven’t been anything like the Chef Miguel Maestre ‘5 minute Spanish Omelette’which uses a bag of lime & black pepper potato chips!
What do think of my plating up? Spanish tapas at its finest right. We had a bit of Spanish night on Saturday when we decided to crack into our Miguel Maestre @thecrazybull The Chef Collection 6-pack media sample from Wine Selectors (thank you!). We opted for the all white/rosé pack, however there’s also an all red and…
