Oxford Landing ‘One to One’ Wine Releases
Confucious is quoted as saying, “If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.” After receiving these wines to try, and … Continue reading
Téssera Wines Pop-Up Cellar Door Tasting
Recently I went to a Téssera Wines ‘pop-up’ cellar door at Lumbr Cafe in Brisbane. I knew the owners, albeit not for very long, and I knew Jen Venardos was a pretty vivacious person, so I expected to have a … Continue reading

2018 Levantine Hill Blanc de Blanc
