I admit it, I drink a lot of Shiraz. I just love the variety. It’s got a great spectrum of flavours and Shiraz is fantastic for matching with food, in my opinion. Which is why I was excited to tuck into this sample bottle from Red Edge Wines in Heathcote recently.
This was our Sunday night – red wine, homemade pies and salad (#balance). I have to admit, it made the end of the week pretty darn enjoyable. This bottle of Brown Brothers 2018 Limited Release Malbec is part of the REDvolution Wine Selectors case. I was kindly gifted a sample case by Wine Selectors (thank…
40% Tempranillo, 25% Monastrell, 25% Graciano and 10% Touriga is the blend of grapes which makes up Red Edge’s Tinto Mezclado (meaning red wine mixture in Spanish).

My Mum and Dad to decided to visit us in our new home in Gippsland for my Dad’s birthday recently. His birthday fell on a Monday which is not ideal when you live in country Victoria. This is because, in the country, you’re hard pushed for any of the ‘special occasion’ restaurants to open for…
Mr Spittoon and I recently took a drive to visit our 21st winery here in Victoria – Tambo Winery. I initially spotted Tambo on Instagram and after looking through their feed, I immediately knew we had to visit. Their Insta feed is full of pictures of their pet cat and dogs. Actually, their feed has more…
