Today on the blog we welcome back Naomi Fuller who is sharing with us a struggle she had recently when it came to ordering wine. She has put a great post together which will help anyone who may wonder, how do I pronounce that wine?
Today on the blog we have the wonderful wino Nicola Heyes joining us. She recently ventured down to WA’s Ferguson Valley on a ‘wine weekend’ and boy did she uncover some hidden gems! A big thanks to Nicola for sharing your Ferguson Valley wineries adventure with us! It’s been 6 years since my wine-loving hubby…
A year ago Mr. Spittoon and I made our first trip down to the Great Southern wine region. We spent a long weekend in Denmark and loved it! To us the region reminded us of New Zealand with the rolling hills, coastline and of course because of all the green. If we could we’d be…

I feel like I’m ready for October, I have so many different posts on the go whether they’re in the drafting, researching or just brainstorming stage but the main thing is I’m feeling happy and organised (and I’m hoping my bubbly wining is infecting you right this very second!).
It’s pretty obvious that I love the wineries in the Swan Valley. Since moving to Perth in March 2012 this glorious wine region has now become my home away from home. The Valley is a mere 25 minute drive from the Perth CBD and with over 150 attractions within a 32km stretch, there is bound…
