A treat for me and I hope a treat for you. The grape variety Aglianico from Southern Italy is a varietal I have never tried before. I was certainly impressed – enough to want to try more from this variety.

19 11 2011A Shiraz from one of the few fully certified organic vineyard and winery combinations in McLaren Vale. 2008 was a hot vintage that caused many issues with the resultant wine, however this wine seems to have been spared.

Lonely Grape TV Episode #94 – Gancari Estate Rose
13 11 2011A wine style that seems to be an emotional roller coaster – Rose. Like it or love it this style seems to get people talking about the style and having an opinion about it. This style is quite dry and suits me. What do you think?

Lonely Grape TV Episode #91 Graham Stevens Wines 2011 Rose
30 10 2011My first 2011 wine from McLaren Vale and I am so glad it was this one. The red fruits of Grenache just engulf you in the wine made for pure enjoyment. I enjoyed it (if you had not noticed) and I hope you check it out as well.
