Review: Dodgy Bros Juxtaposed Old Vine Grenache 2019. Oh yeah.

After cracking the lid on this resoundingly good Grenache, I was tempted to text Juxtaposed winemaker Wes Pearson and tell him to put his prices up. Which I’ve done for 3 vintages now (and he hasn’t done). Indeed this Dodgy […]

The Combes Willow Lake is pretty good for a cheapie at the discounted price at Different Drop’s sale last week. Need 20 mins or so to open in the glass. Will probably come on sale again. Current sale DCB and Wickham’s might be good cheaper propositions. Qantas also have some Pinot mixed case at the moment

Can anyone recommend a wine similar to the Pt Leo Estate pinot noir. Was there a few weeks ago and surprisingly liked their pinot more than other ones that are recommended here for under $50. Not great at describing wines but seemed very fruity and great for a warm day.

Hmm. Maybe try a Curly Flat. Curly Flat

Or perhaps one from other side of peninsular to Pt Leo - Dromana Estate Winery - Premium Wine Producer on the Mornington Peninsula

Once the quintessential bang-for-your-buck option on a wine list, Beaujolais has recently priced itself out of the $60 slot. Here’s what’s taken its place.

It’s a wine that has long been typecast. Maybe now is the time to recognize that Beaujolais is no longer just one thing.
