2019 Clandestine Vineyards Margaret River Malbec
I have a mate who definitely, without question, knows about wine. Mainly from one particular state but has been involved in many a tasting and judging panel over the years. I will never forget a comment he made a couple … Continue reading

2020 Clandestine Vineyards Tempranillo Rosé

2019 Yelland & Papps Second Take Grenache
It’s easy to get carried away with a quality wine that captures your senses when you open it, pour it, take in the aromas and, of course, taste it. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I consider myself … Continue reading

Hastwell & Lightfoot ‘Fat and Skinny’ Range Releases
I don’t know who else will be able to relate to this but, when I read the name of these wines, and saw the picture on the label, I immediately thought of Laurel & Hardy, the comedy duo from the … Continue reading

2018 Angullong ‘Fossil Hill’ Orange Region Tempranillo
