About Me

I'm just your average guy with a love and passion for wine. I enjoy touring and tasting as well as collecting wines. My current cellar sits around 350 bottles which fluctuates dependent on occasions and if I find a bargain. My preference for drinking as you will discover as this blog grows is to big bold Shiraz, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and the occasional Rosé on a summers day. Although they are the wines I love I definitely appreciate all wines and give my descriptions/recommendations based on the quality and taste of the wine not based on my personal preference to the grape variety, I will drop my opinion in there to help those few out who simply want to be told good or not good. Good luck with your purchases and I hope I can help. Happy drinking.

Jim Barry 'The Lodge Hill' Dry Riesling 2013

Iconic in many ways lets explore!

Wow what a nose, lifted apple, tropical notes, hints of florals and candied lemon. Palate has wonderful searing acidity, amazing length, apples, lemons, limes and light under ripe tropicals. All very crunchy with that acidity. Structure is everything to this wine and it will go the journey!

Great riesling for now or your cellar or impressive for a dinner out with friends. Good citrus fruits an great with food!

Robert Geddes 92pts and a trophy from Queensland Royal mean this is a great wine. Me 94+pts.

Priced at $22 it's in the general pocket for good Rizza and I'm sure it'll be slightly cheaper in the majors, I'd buy some anyways as it'll go the distance in the cellar anyways.

Overall I'd stand behind this one, quite generic in style could be the only criticism but it does stand out from the crowd. Go get some and form your own opinion but I'd be confident you won't be disappointed! Good luck and happy drinking!
