I have been hanging out to try this brand new Western Australian made sparkling wine for so long now! If you haven’t already heard, this is 3drops first ever sparkling wine. The 3drops Blanc de Noir 2017 is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from the 2017 vintage. It’s made in the traditional method which…
When we visited the Blue Gables Vineyard cellar door earlier this year they were sold out of this sparkling wine made with Chardonnay and Pinot Gris grapes – I was guttered as I really wanted to try it! Recently I came across a bottle of it at The Hunting Ground in Sale for $40 and…
On the 12th day of Christmas, The Wine Gallery sent to me, a bottle of Moondarra Cuvee Maree NV from Gippsland, Victoria. This lucky last bottle in my wine advent calendar topped off the #12winesofchristmas ?? Fun fact about Moondarra: Their Pinot Noir is named ‘Conception’ because the winemaker/owners eldest son was conceived in the…
Last, but definitely not least, in the Wine Selectors 2019 Calendar Collection (a great gift idea for Christmas) we have the Josef Chromy Wines NV Tasmanian Cuvée sparkling wine. This beauty is matched with chef Nick Raitt’s slow baked salmon, ceviche salmon, salad and sparkling oyster cream – YES PLEASE. The cool climate of Tazzie…

While putting this weeks email newsletter together I decided to treat myself to a wee glass of bubbles (okay make that 3!). This A by Arras NV Premium Cuvée I picked up for $25 from Dan Murphy’s. It’s made in Tasmania, which is super high on my wine travel bucket list right now as there are…
We were having withdrawals. Withdrawals from not living just up the road from Pinelli Estate Wines in the Swan Valley anymore. So we recently put in a big order to be delivered over to Victoria (free delivery Australia-wide on deliveries of 12 bottles or more FYI). A good portion of the order was made up of the…
I’m a bubbles girl, there’s no doubt about that. Last weekend Mr Spittoon and I went for brunch at the Wa-De-Lock Cellar Door Cafe in Stratford. The cafe stocks a number of local wines and beers which you can buy to take away. I spotted this Wild Dog 2011 Sparkling from West Gippsland for $30…
