Mount Avoca focus on producing organic wine from their Victorian winery based in Pyrenees wine region. They grow, made and bottle all their wines onsite and even offer “Eco-Luxe” lodges accomodation at the vineyard. Who doesn’t love a winery escape am I right? The 400 acre property was planted with vines in 1970 and also…
Happy Malbec World Day everyone! If you’re not aware, the 17th of April every year is Malbec World Day. It signifies the day in 1853 that President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento of Argentina officially made it his mission to transform Argentina’s wine industry. He did this by asking French soil expert, Michel Aimé Pouget, to introduce new wine…
Yes you read that right! This Chardonnay has been aged in terracotta clay aka Amphora-Aged Wine. This wine-making technique has been around for thousands of years (in fact I read something in Wine Enthusiast Magazine that said about 6,000 years ago there’s evidence of this technique being used in Georgia). Terracotta is seen as a…

Our family friends brought over this Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz blend from Tahbilk Winery and I thought it was a match made in wine & cheese heaven. Tahbilk’s 2017 Ambassador Cabernet…
Not so long ago I mentioned that I had an AMAZING Chardonnay and today I want to let you in on the secret. We’ve literally visited only a handful of cellar doors in the last year. Half to do with you know what and half to do with Baby TC. It’s safe to say ‘just…
No one puts baby in the corner. Or in this case Dean & Monroe’s newly released King Valley Prosecco in its eye-catching geometric printed bottle. A big thank you to the team at Dean & Monroe for sending this sample our way. Dean & Monroe are part of Pinnacle Drinks (Woolworths). I love my Prosecco…
Of the 4 wines we purchased last month from BAIE Wines, I reckon this 2020 Pinot Gris might be my favourite. Who else is a fan of Pinot Gris? It’s super easy drinking, food friendly (we matched it with fish’n’chips by the beach) and well balanced. It has yummy juicy flavours of pears, stonefruit and…
