Tomich Wines Woodside Sauvignon Blanc 2022

 

Here is another example of why Aussies should be drinking more locally produced Sauv Blanc (if that's what you enjoy) rather than lining the pockets of those from across the ditch.

An easy-drinking Sauv Blanc from the Adelaide Hills.

Clandestine Vineyards Pinot Noir 2021

 

I must admit, the only time I have an Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir in my possession is when I have a samples sent to me. Given the choice to buy Pinot, I head to a couple of other regions. Maybe I need to explore Hills Pinot more? But for those who like a little oomph in their Pinot, this may float your boat.
