Just enjoying the last of the good weather in the middle of the long weekend with this unpretentious but delicious Blanco from . Eloquently described by Marnie as "a white w**e" made "for a bit of fun", it's a blend of pinot blanc, pinot gris and reisling. Full of flavour, moorish and totally "smashable" - this might not be made for the over analytical w**e nerds of the world, but who wants to have a drink with them anyhow 😂

Always a great time at Matriarch and Rogue as well - if you haven't been out to the cellar door at Mintaro you really are missing out. Some alternative varietals on show, all expertly crafted, and you are guaranteed to have a laugh as well. Absolutely one of our favorite cellar doors to visit.

Can't be too many of these left in the wild. Delicious idea for a Friday evening.

Was a short time but a good time - thanks very much from everybody to Mr Nobody Shut the Gate Wines

Something a little different today - got out and assisted with some picking at Crabtree Wines as it was time for the muscat grapes to come off. And for those that don't know - their muscat is absolutely amazing so any chance to be involved is absolutely essential to take up!

Aside from this though their new release w**es are stunning - a silver for the 2022 riesling at the Clare w**e show testament to that, but you really need to taste the new grenache to believe it. Nobody in the valley is making something quite like this.

Stunning day for it! Live music, fire cooked curries by MFP Fire Foods, and delicious w**e (and other beverages). Hard to think of a better place to be than Kilikanoon Wines right now. 😊

Happy Father's day to all the dads out there! Loving the lunch at Sevenhill Cellars - live music, and food by Seed Clare Valley.

Picked this up today from the lovely **escv cellar door today. Seemed like an appropriate time to open it! Delicious Clare Valley red on a winters night - cannot go wrong with that. Or any other season for that matter, but save that for later in the year 😂
