I am loving Australian Riesling! From WA’s Great Southern wine region to Tasmania and this one is from Pentland Hills in the Port Phillip wine region in Victoria. St Anne’s Winery sources grapes from around Victoria and New South Wales to produce an exciting range of wines for us to consume (thank you very much!)….
My wine socks (see below) weren’t the only things we bought at Puddleduck Vineyard in the Coal River Valley in Tasmania – we were also quite partial to their 2018 Riesling for $30. We visited the cellar door on Easter Sunday and it’s safe to say it’s a hot spot for locals and visitors –…

I’m a sucker for a good Riesling. This Millon Wines ‘The Impressionist’ 2018 Riesling is made in South Australia’s Eden Valley and by gawd I love that label. So darn pretty don’t you think?

On the weekend I decided to make some Vietnamese rice paper rolls.

After weighing up our options we figured this Clare’s Secret 2017 Riesling from the Clare…
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…
We discovered this little beauty on the weekend while on our vineyard retreat at Toms Cap Vineyard Retreat here in Gippsland. It’s a dry style Riesling that both Mr Spittoon and I picked out as our favourite from the cellar door tasting.
Scallops and Riesling? Hell yes!! October 2019 is the month for Robert Oatley 2017 Great Southern Riesling and Chef Rick Houston’s Rottnest Island Scallops with cauliflower purée and nduja vinaigrette as part of the Wine Selectors Chef & The Cellar 2019 Calendar case (drooooool). Jeeze how good does that pairing sound?
