I have been meaning to post this for a while now and am only now getting around to it. I need to share the names of two wines I had while in Fontainebleau for an INSEAD marketing course in January. I picked them at random for our 8 person dinner on a Monday night and
Ahhh the day of love…or just another day to try an extra special wine?? Whatever it means to you, have a look at some ideas to mark the occasion with someone special (i.e. yourself!). Here are some ideas to spark the LOVE…. A Valentines day MUST – BUBBLES!! Grab a bottle of Prosecco. Honestly –

I have done it…or shall I say my army of friends, my fearlessly thirsty partner and me have done it. After buying four cases (yes…four entire cases or 48 glorious 750ml bottles) of Adina’s 2005 very last vintage of Petit Verdot, we have officially finsihed the last bottle.

I opened this on Friday evening after a very long week. Absolutely amazing, big bodied Pinot. It completely hit the spot – rich dark, peppery but delicate enough to satisfy. As you may have noticed, I adore heavy red wines and as a rule Pinots do not usually fall into that category (hence I don’t
I’m hoping to gather a list of good wine courses that are available in Sydney. Can you help? I’m looking for an introductory course on tasting, varietals, global wine regions, viticulture, etc. If you have been on a good course, please let me know. Thanks!
