Berton Vineyards Foundstone Pinot Grigio 2019


You get change from a tenner here and you'd go back and buy another. And another. A cracking wine for the money.

Jacob's Creek Classic Riesling 2019


Well, the first 2019 wine has arrived and what a noise it has made! A quick search reveals it can be bought for around $6 - a burst of refreshment everyone can afford.

Sunshine Coast Cider Cloudy Perry


A good alternative for those who don't want apples because you can have your pears instead.

Sunshine Coast Cider Bottle Fermented Cider


There's a big kick to this but you wouldn't know it. Weighing in at 7.2%, it's made with apples grown on the Granite Belt.

Angove Long Row Shiraz 2016


If you only had a tenner to part with for a bottle of red, I'd happily recommend this Shiraz. Tip top for the money.

Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc 2017


Nine bucks they say. It doesn't hold back either. A great little drop for those seeking a penny pincher.

De Bortoli La Bossa Merlot 2016

An easy drinking red to ease you through the mid-week blues without blowing a hole in the back pocket.

De Bortoli Sacred Hill Traminer Riesling 2016


This came in a box of samples labelled as 'Winter Warmers'. Good concept though Traminer Riesling isn't something I'd consider as a winter warmer. Perhaps it's for the curry or spicy Asian dish you'd have to warm the insides and this to wash away some of that sting? Speculation aside, this is a good drink and a very good deal for the asking price.

Angove Long Row Merlot 2015

Smells inviting - lots of red and purple fruit filling the air as I swirl the glass. Not complex just a straight up and down drop offering good, reliable drinking.

Soft in the mouth, it's good value for asking price. Chill slightly to offer even more enjoyment and versatility.

Drink now to three years.

88/100 - Good.

Angove Long Row Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Another reliable offering from the Long Row range.

Blue and black fruits are flanked by dark chocolate. A lick of cassis parades through with ease. Puckering in the mouth, it's drying to finish. A good barbecue option for a penny.

Drink now to three years.

86/100 - Good.

Angove Long Row Chardonnay 2016


Isn't this just a little surprise packet for ten bucks.

Good fruit which carries well, good oak, some interest - nice work.

Fresh lemons and some tropical fruit influences. There's a warming caress from an oak touch and gentle spice which sits long. Good penny pinching drinking for that roast bird you're about to pull outta the oven.

Drink now.

Angove Long Row Riesling 2016


Pretty white florals get things under way. Lemony sherbet tacks on the side for the ride. Delivery has a fuller feel to it - not the clean and crisp Riesling type. Canned apple, lemon zest and pineapple husk flavours fill the mouth. It almost feels a little weighty but not.

A fair go for ten bucks.

Drink now.

Angove Long Row Pinot Noir Chardonnay NV


You can't expect too much from a ten dollar fizz but this does the job pretty well.

Whiffs of melon, a squirt of citrus, poached apples sneak in late too. Although it is not a complex wine, toasted whole meal bread adds appeal through the mouth. Some zesty tang to finish.
Nothing amazing, nothing disastrous either. A good option for cheap fizz hunters.

Drink now.
