2024 Ekin Wine Co Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir

Posted on March 14, 2026 by Tony Peters

Laufey is, from what I’ve read, a remarkably talented Icelandic‑Chinese singer, songwriter and multi‑instrumentalist…and only 26 years old! I don’t know much more about her, except for a quote of hers that I feel is the perfect prelude to this … Continue reading →

2025 Vickery Watervale Riesling

Posted on March 13, 2026 by Tony Peters

How often do you genuinely get to use words like respect, reputation, pedigree, consistency, and quality to describe one thing? Not often, and not because those words are rare, but because they deserve to be used with care, and only … Continue reading →

2024 Ekin Wine Co Adelaide Hills Chardonnay

Posted on March 11, 2026 by Tony Peters

I can undeniably admit that I love a good Chardy (abbreviating it does not diminish its importance in the wine world). It takes up a good part of the wine rack space in our home wine room and it owns … Continue reading →

2024 Yalumba Vat 11 Grenache

Posted on March 7, 2026 by Tony Peters

I’ve been jumping on the Grenache bandwagon for a while now. I was a fan some time ago thanks to the many and varied iterations coming out of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. What struck me back then was … Continue reading →

2024 Ekin Wine Co Adelaide Hills Rosé

Posted on March 6, 2026 by Tony Peters

We’re now into Autumn but, here in sunny Brisbane, Summer seems to want to remain the focus while reluctant to hand over the reins, not that I’m complaining. I love this time of year. The landscape shifts in colour depending … Continue reading →

Posted on March 5, 2026 by Tony Peters

Fiano is a white Italian variety that grows mainly in the Campania area of southern Italy and on the island of Sicily (that triangular clump of land sitting in the Mediterranean Sea near the toe of the boot). I can’t remember … Continue reading →

2025 Ekin Wine Co Sauvignon Blanc & Pinot Gris

Posted on February 28, 2026 by Tony Peters

“The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day,” said American poet and educator Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It’s true, the stars don’t disappear when the sun rises. They simply shine for someone else, somewhere else in another part of the … Continue reading →

2022 Yalumba Samuels Collection Viognier

Posted on February 21, 2026 by Tony Peters

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Yalumba must surely be the Viognier champions of Australia. That’s not to take anything away from the many producers who grow the variety and make outstanding wines from it, but … Continue reading →

Champteloup Rosé d’Anjou

Posted on February 14, 2026 by Tony Peters

With the rise in popularity of this style of wine, it is understandable that we are going to see more Rosés on bottle-shop shelves and fridges from across the globe. It shouldn’t come as any suprise that France would want … Continue reading →

2022 Slow Wine Co. Gewürztraminer

Posted on February 6, 2026 by Tony Peters

I don’t know what ‘Gen’ I am in this world, but whatever ‘Gen’ comes after me is unlikely to know what Gewürztraminer is, with all due respect of course. They probably wouldn’t even recognise it as a word, let alone … Continue reading →
