I got my hair done for the first time in 4 months on Friday. Between running my own full time business and #mumlife I tend to put these types of things down the bottom of my to do list. Terrible I know. So after I got home feeling wonderful and relaxed, I just had to pop something…
Now that our baby milestone cards have changed to months instead of weeks, it means we’re moving to monthly bottles to celebrate rather than weekly. However we couldn’t give up the habit that quickly which is why we indulged in this bottle of Toms Cap Vineyard ‘Subterfuge’ Chardonnay NV over the weekend which we picked up for $40…
Happy 2020 everyone! I hope you’re planning on have a wine-filled year! Naturally we had to see the new year in with a fantastic bottle of bubbles and this Whicher Ridge Wines 2016 Whitetail Sparkling Chardonnay from WA’s Margaret River definitely hit the mark.

Mandoon Estate 2011 Sparkling Reserve Chardonnay I drank my fair share of this bubbles at the Official Mandoon Estate & Homestead Brewery Grand Opening in November 2014. It is divine! It is made in the traditional method (exactly the same way French Champagne is made with secondary fermentation in the bottle) and is crafted from…
Edgecombe Brothers NV Sparkling Chardonnay Visiting Edgecombe Bros is like stopping in to see extended family. It is so laid-back and casual that you feel right at home when you walk in the door. Plus you’re bound to walk away with a smile on your face as all the staff have such a great sense…
Upper Reach Sparkling Chardonnay If you have been tuned into The 25 Swan Valley Sparkling Wines of Christmas then you may notice that this is the second Upper Reach wine featured! Yes that’s right, on December 3rd the Upper Reach Sparkling Shiraz was featured!
