Chapel Hill – Fleurieu Vermentino 2021
When I was living in South Australia. I got the chance to visit some amazing wineries. The Chapel Hill winery in McLaren Vale was one such place. So when I got a random call from their cellar door asking if I wanted a dozen of their finest. I did not say no. The Chapel Hill […]
Robert Channon – Verdelho 2022
When you think of Queensland Australia. You think sunshine, beaches, and rainforests. You do not think wineries. It’s a little-known fact that in southwest Queensland has a world class wine region. On a recent holiday, I took the opportunity to visit it again. I found the 2022 Robert Channon Verdelho which was a real delight. […]
Evans & Tate Butterball Chardonnay 2022
It’s a well known fact I prefer sauvignon blanc wines. What is a little-known fact is that in my 20’s I was all about the Chardonnay. Part of the journey with wine is trying new experiences. This time around it is the Evans & Tate 2022 butterball chardonnay. I will start the story with how […]
Tulloch Verdelho 2022
Verdelho was always my favorite white wine until I discovered Sauvignon Blanc. So now and then when I might dip my toe back into it. The Tulloch Verdelho 2022 was one of those occasions. I tend to gravitate toward having a Verdelho whenever I have a creamy seafood dish. For me, it’s about enjoying the […]
The Hidden Sea – Sauvignon Blanc 2022
It’s a Saturday afternoon, and sadly I have nothing better to do than a bottle of wine. So to the local bottle shop, I go. After a while, the staff gets to know you. So when a new wine hits the self they are the first to tell you. The Hidden Sea Sauvignon Blanc 2022 […]
Fifth Leg Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2023
When it’s summer in Australia most wine drinkers tend to gravitate towards white wine. So working through the local bottle shop selection does get methodical at times. The Fith Leg Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2023. Is just such a wine. I can’t remember if I had tried it before, but on a typical hot Sunday afternoon, […]
Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2023
So the 2023 Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region in New Zealand. A lazy Saturday night wine with a steak and salad. It’s a pretty standard fact that a New Zealand white wine is going to pass muster pretty easily. The Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc was no different. I am a confessed addict […]
Chapel Hill – The Parson Chardonnay
The Chapel Hill winery is one of my favorite wineries in South Australia. I had the chance to go there many times when I lived in Adelaide. The reds are all amazing. So it was a little surprising when I tried the Chapel Hill – The Parson Chardonnay 2023. I think what surprised me was […]
Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2023
It’s funny, revisiting some of these wines is like saying hello to old friends. Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc is like a long-lost best friend. Very similar to the South Island Sauvignon Blanc. I have said it many times, I love New Zealand white wine. I think it’s world-class, in pretty much any wine variety you […]
Old Fart Unicorn Pinot Gris 2022
I always get excited looking for wine (yes sad I know). It’s a new wine that I’ve never tried or maybe a new grape. Then sometimes it is all about the label. When I see a bottle like Old Fart Unicorn Pinot Gris, you just know I am buying that. Friday night at the local […]
