Posted on December 3, 2019 by Tony Peters

I have been watching a television series all about building and/or renovating houses.  Very fancy houses too, I might add, and the end result is usually a very high quality.  The most recent episode involved the building of a lovely … Continue reading →

2019 Angullong Pinot Grigio

Posted on October 24, 2019 by Tony Peters

I haven’t checked any statistics, however I reckon the leader of the most popular white wine in Australia at the moment would be a very close race.  Pinot Grigio/Gris and Sauvignon Blanc must be the leaders in this category. When … Continue reading →

Posted on October 18, 2019 by Tony Peters

I decided to research the actual garden tool, the Mattock (thanks again to Google) and I was a bit surprised, and a little confused, as to its history.  I won’t bore you with it all but part of the (Wikipedia) … Continue reading →

2017 Bailey Wine Co Watervale Riesling

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Tony Peters

I poured this Riesling for a mate recently and he was impressed.  It prompted him to say that he couldn’t understand why Riesling is among the lowest for sales of white wine in Australia.  I won’t go into what his … Continue reading →
