Yes this is a picture of an empty bottle 😉 What can I say, I enjoy the wine and then I think about blogging about. If you’ve read this blog for awhile then you’ll know that I don’t leave scathing reviews about wines, instead I opt to share with you the wines I really enjoy whether…
I admit it, I bought this Punt Road Airlie Bank Pinot Noir Chardonnay Brut NV sparkling because I loved the label and I thought the cap would look brilliant in my Wearing Memories ring 😉 It’s a $20 bottle made from 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir from VIC’s Yarra Valley. A small portion of…

While staying in Launceston we visited the Clover Hill cellar door and it’s absolutely beautiful! These guys really focus on making extraordinary sparkling…
