2018 Clandestine Vineyards McLaren Vale Grenache

2016 Salena Estate ‘BFR’ Riverland Touriga Langrein Cabernet Sauvignon

2018 Angullong Fossill Hill Orange Region Sangiovese
Literally every time I have a bottle of Sangiovese with dinner, I can’t help but make attempts to put on an Italian accent. “Sangio – VAY – see” with emphasis on the ‘VAY’ part with a few hand and arm … Continue reading

2018 Angullong Fossil Hill Orange Region Barbera
It’s been a long time since my wife and I were in Italy. I can’t remember if we visited the Piedmont region but, being an area that grows the third most planted grape variety in Italy, I reckon I’d remember … Continue reading
