Dorrien Estate Cuvee Shiraz NV
This was the first wine we cracked into after getting back to Australia last week. Are you a fan of Aussie Sparkling Red?
In order to avoid the post-holiday blues, I thought a bottle of this and a face mask would help. Plus how cool is this red wine antioxidant face mask I found at Watsons in Bangkok? I’m glad I bought a couple now.

The more I drink sparkling red, the more I like it and the more I feel I’m turning into an Aussie! Because it’s a chillable Red it’d be quite the perfect wine for Australia Day actually.

The limit for bringing alcohol into Thailand is only 1 litre per person, so we definitely were going for quality over quantity.
We also knew in Krabi, where we were going to be spending Christmas Day, that our wine and champagne choices would be pretty low. Continue reading
