How to make goon bags fancy - put Mac Forbes' name on the front. I've gotta say, I was more than curious as a result.

Winesmiths Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Not all cask wine should be painted with a brush that suggests they are nasty. Here is an easy-drinking and approachable wine that comes in an easy-carry 2L package.

Winesmiths Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Time for a cask wine review, it's been a while too. Not everyone sits in the corporate box drinking wonderful wines - I get that. Here's one from the nosebleed section of the stadium.

Friday Drinks Radio 4BC 6 March - Cask Wine
One of Australia's greatest inventions would have to be the wine cask. The old bag in a box. This year it celebrates 50 years!
Listen in here as I chat to Ben Davis about cask wines and the quality has significantly improved. So much so, company's are now putting their bottle quality wines in the bag.
A couple to keep an eye out for:

Brookland Valley Verse 1 Cabernet Merlot 2013
All wines are bottle quality - you can try and compare them for yourself. The bottled gear will be on the shelf in the same establishment you can buy this cask. But what you get here is the convenience of the go anywhere package - and twice the volume.
Good stuff this. Really good in fact. Blackberry and dark plum fruits smother the mouth. There's a nudge of bay leaf too, that little savoury edge that the Margaret River region has over its rivals. But in all, it's just juicy and tasty wine. A decent length too makes this a great option to take to a barbeque, picnic, camping with the bonus of having 1.5L under your wing compared to the standard 750mL of a bottle.
A drink now type wine - please don't age a cask! The added bonus is that this will last a couple of month after being opened; certainly not the case with a wine in bottle.
Good wine and a bargain for what you get.

Brookland Valley Verse 1 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2014
All the usual characteristics which Sauvignon Blanc toss up are present here. I do like the snow pea character which reminds me of a salad I do with that and mango during summer. This would sit well alongside it, that's for sure. A nice wash of citrus sweeps through too.
A clean and crisp easy drinking wine which has warm days and sunshine written all over it.
Good.
