Gee I liked this. A belter for $23 and then I'm told it's sold out. Bummer. I'm not surprised really - it's an absolute b...

Perfectly pitched, damn this is a super expressive Mataro. I doubt you'll find any Mataro as perfumed and energetic as this. Straight...

A relatively new addition to the Coriole range and only the second release - this the only planting in McLaren Vale, too, I'm led to b...

Carol and Ivan's pick - owner Brett Hayes seems to have his parents on the snips and buckets during vintage. A family project through ...

I was generously gifted this Chardonnay - my mate Richard knows I'm a Chardy fan and he knows his wine. It's Richard's birthda...

A modern twist on a blend first launched by winemaker Jacob Stein's grandfather 40 years ago. Today, this is a field blend, wild ferme...

Wicked Grenache! This is an absolute treasure - not a drop was left. I couldn't help but keep going back to it. Boom!

The brainchild of Golden Grove Estate's diminutive winemaker Ray Costanzo and self-described mountain bike 'warrior'.  Chai...

Gee I like this. Hello funky town! 231 days on skins, unfined and unfiltered. Dirty Vermentino to cleanse the soul. So, so good.

Kick arse Pinot for $25. Perhaps I just leave the review at that? What a treat!

A big brut bursting through its t-shirt.

A label I haven't seen before, I bought this off the shelf with a hankering for a glass of Chardonnay. Tassie Chardonnay - I couldn...

Coming off 50 year old vines, the aim of this wine was to emulate the success of Hunter Valley Semillons but highlighted by Mudgee's ...

Year after year this Joven is pursued with haste and sold out in quick time as a result. A superb drink in anyone's language. The jui...

Tasty Chardonnay from Manjimp which sits just north-east of Pemberton in Western Australia.

A silky ride on the magic carpet to happiness. Such a beautiful drink.

Here's a big brooding type. Old school Barossa if you will. As dark as the night's sky, this is all bulging biceps and chest pumpe...

A lovely Chardonnay release from Kate Goodman. With a striking label, this is a damn easy wine to kick back with. Better still, any frien...

An easy slurp to wash away a long work week. A little texture, a whole lot of fun. Bush Vine Grenache hand-picked from 60-90 year old vine...
