DiGiorgio Family Wines Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
At this moment in time, Coonawarra is one of the few wine regions in Australia I’ve not been to. Luckily, all this is going to change as Mrs Drew and […]
Wynns Coonawarra Estate Shiraz 2015
Dutiful foot soldier of the Wynns Coonawarra stable. One of the oldest labels they have, so reliable and sometimes overlooked for more fashionable zeitgeist brands. Seriously, this is like the […]
Wynns Coonawarra Estate CSM 2015

Hoddles Creek Estate Pinot Gris 2016
Seriously, Franco D’Anna should have Britney Spear’s “Oops I Did It Again” as his ringtone, such is the consistency of his winemaking, regardless of the variety. Hoddles Creek Estate, Pinot […]
Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad Cava NV
