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.

Thomas Braemore Semillon 2012

It's been a while and I've been missing expressing my wine filled journey. Sharing the bottles I conquer regularly gave me an excuse to conquer bottles regularly.. #winwin 

Dug this out of a pile of 'drink whenever you feel like it' wines for a little Sunday arvo quaffer and god I'm glad I did!

Beautiful citrus filled bouquet with herbaceous notes that add complexity. Palate has bright, youthful, linear citrus acidity drive that gives this baby incredible power. Lemons, limes, grassy herbaceousness and kaffir lime are just the beginning of this little ones life cycle, the underlying minerality and complexity ensure its journey.

Simply... Bloody good Semillon!! Not a lot out there better! Fresh, juicy and packed with citrus! Nice!

Various critics landing 94pts on this one and one Jeremy Pringle giving it a healthy 96pts of which I couldn't agree more. 96+ from me and I'm looking forward to watching this grow over the next 10 years.

Value for money... Well this smashes McWilliams Elizabeth out of the park but it is double the price.... And worth every penny!!!

In short, go get some people, it will not disappoint!
