2014 Levantine Hill Sparkling Rosé
In my office I have a desk, computer, phone, bookshelf and coat rack and, because it is an internal office, what I don’t have is a view to speak of. Everyday, at least once, I make a point of deliberately … Continue reading

2017 Golden Grove SPV Sparkling Vermentino
It must be daunting to do a sparkling white wine with anything other than Chardonnay (Blanc de Blanc). I only say that because of the reputation and expectation that the only white variety used to make a bubbles is, lets … Continue reading

2013 MacLean Bay Sparkling Rosé
If you speak to my wife she will tell you I am a creature of habit. This may be correct but I prefer to say I have a routine. I don’t think this is bad thing. There is one habit … Continue reading

Clemens Hill Vineyard & Wines
My wife and I are ‘view’ people. By that I mean we like a view of most things, whether it be the ocean, rivers, mountains, valleys or vineyards. Speaking of views, valleys and vineyards, you need to make an appointment (by … Continue reading

2016 Yelland & Papps Devote Sparkling Vermentino
I googled Sparkling Vermentino only because I thought there can’t be much around in Australia. I was wrong, there is a bit out there. But, are they as good as this one! There was every intention of opening this wine … Continue reading

2017 Lowe Wines ‘Jodie Wilbertree’ Sparkling Rosé
I’m not boasting when I say this. I’m only saying it to make a point. I’ve had quite a lot of sparkling rosé in my time and not one of them has tasted or presented like this one. I reckon the … Continue reading

NV Tatachilla Prosecco
If you have asked me ten years ago what is prosecco I would’ve replied that it is something you wrap around beef and call it Fillet Mignon (Okay, okay. That’s prosciutto but you get my drift). As much as I … Continue reading

Penley Estate Echo Sparkling Pinot Noir
Living in a place known for its Pinot Noir and sparkling wine has, unfortunately, made me a bit skeptical about mainland versions, more so when it’s Sparkling Pinot Noir! It appears I may have wasted my ‘skeptical’ time and energy … Continue reading
