Riesling and Friends Few beverages in the world can hold the esteem that the supremely aromatic Riesling has globally, and at all the spectrum’s ends – in Germany and Austria, the wines that boast a purity and sweetness carried by a lick of structural acid and texture find themselves the most prized, where few Australian wine drinkers have grown without knowing the lazer-dry styles of the Clare. 2019 Dom Valentine Riesling, Yarra Valley VIC 65 Undoubtably one of the best Australian winemakers you’ve never heard of, Victoria’s Dom Valentine comes with a heavy hitting resume and Riesling is definitely a strong suit – well worth a lash. 2019 Wines By KT ‘Churinga Vineyard,’ Clare Valley SA 89 2013 Wines By KT ‘Peglidis Vineyard,’ Clare Valley SA 120 2015 Rieslingfreak ‘No. 6’ Riesling, Clare Valley SA 85 2019 Frankland Estate ‘Poison Hill’ Riesling, Frankland River WA 85 2019 Eddystone Point Riesling, Bay of Fires TAS 70 2018 Wittman Riesling Trocken, Rheingau GER 85 2019 Prophet’s Rock Dry Riesling, Cnt Otago NZ 98 2019 Mac Forbes ‘RS25’ Riesling, Strathbogie Ranges VIC 75 2018 La Violetta ‘Rock Dots’ Riesling Blend, Great Sth WA 76 2018 Fuchs Mader Kientzler ‘Super Felsaspanger’ Riesling, Alsace FR 72

If You Like Sauvignon Blanc The Australian (and NZ) White Wine Industry’s last 20 or so years have been built on the back of Sauvignon Blanc. As an entry into white wine, sure, Savvy B is a fine starting point; but now you’re here, why not see what else is around? 2019 Corymbia Chenin Blanc, Swan Valley WA 65 2017 Edi Simic ‘Giacato’ Pinot Grigio, Goriška Brda SLV 60 2019 Te Whare Ra Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough NZ 74 2018 Visintini Ribolla Gialla, Friuli IT 70 2018 Doniene Gorrondona Txalokina, Basque ESP 75 2018 Serge Dagueneau Pouilly-Fume, Loire Valley FR 94 2016 Ten Miles East Arneis, ADL Hills SA 60 2018 Massimo Rivetti Arneis, Piemonte IT 79 2018 Weingut Nikolas Weissburgunder, Alto Adige IT 70 2018 Hughes and Hughes ‘Barrel and Skins’ Sav Blanc, Coal River TAS 70 2018 Mount Mary ‘Triolet’ Blend, Yarra Valley VIC 175
For Lovers of Texture The ways that white wine develops texture are myriad: oak, time spent on lees, fermentation techniques or indeed the varietal character from each grape will contribute to a broad mouth-feel and a long, satisfying finish. 2020 Hughes + Hughes Pinot Gris, MR TAS 68 2019 Tourlaudiere ‘Bohale’ Muscadet-Sur-Lie, Loire Valley FR 88 2013 Le Rocher Des Violettes ‘La Negrette’ Chenin Blanc, Loire Valley FR 95 2019 Kumeu River Estate Pinot Gris, Kumeu NZ 65 2018 Domaine Ostertag ‘Les Jardins’ Pinot Blanc, Alsace FR 96 2018 Millton ‘Te Arai’ Chenin Blanc, Gisbourne NZ 68 2016 Marjan Simcic Ribolla, Goriška Brda SLV 89 2017 Giuseppe Quintarelli ‘Bianco Secco’ Garganega, Veneto IT 175 2019 Domaine Belle-Vue ‘La Justice’ Chardonnay/Savagnin Loire Valley FR 165 Unicorn Alert: Marc Sorrel, Tain l’Hermitage, France From inauspicious beginnings after taking over in 1982, Marc Sorrel has paid dues and risen the Rhone ranks, and now finds himself at the peak of quality, traditionally styled Hermitage. Tiny quantities. 2016 Hermitage Blanc, Marsanne 495

The Jura Region is idiosyncratic, and the wine industry there tiny, but their quality and influence sends ripples throughout the world. Anne et Jean-Francois Ganevat are true leaders in the region with a dizzying array of cuvees, and their wines, an unwavering delight. 2016 Anne et Jean Francois Ganevat ‘La Barraque’ Savagnin, Côtes du Jura FR 270 ‘Petit Courolet’ Savagnin, Arbois FR 257
The Mediterranean Ba sin (And Inspired By) The Mediterranean basin of southern Europe carries perfect conditions for textural whites; long summers, mild winters, fertile soils and a gentle oceanic influence – the following wines, mostly indigenous varieties, are fantastic examples of a modern push for showcasing this wonderful potential. 2018 Douloufakis ‘Dafnios’ Vidiano, Crete GR 68 2017 Celler Comunica ‘La Pua’ Garnacha Blanca, Montsant ESP 78 2019 Domaine Laguerre ‘EOS’ Grenache Blanc/Macabeu, Roussillon FR 80 2019 Mas Coutelou ‘Blanc’ Macabeu/Grenache Gris Languedoc FR 150 2018 Yves Cuilleron Condrieu ‘La Petit Cote,’ Nth Rhone FR 199 2018 Rall Grenache Blanc, Coastal Region RSA 85 2017 Yeringberg Viognier, Yarra Valley VIC 95 2018 Domenica Roussanne/Marsanne, Beechworth VIC 99 2017 Bruno Duchêne ‘Vall Pompo’ Grenache Blanc, Languedoc- Roussillon FR 215 2018 Viognier By Farr, Geelong VIC 135
C .B.A. (Chardonnay, Back Aga in!) Few grape varietals, if any, hold as much esteem globally as Chardonnay. From its birth home in Burgundy, to California, South Africa and our own backyard, this grape has flourished and endeared itself to wine lovers worldwide. 2018 Voyager Estate ‘Girt By Sea’ Chardonnay, Margaret River WA 64 2020 Gentle Folk ‘Village’ Chardonnay, ADL Hills SA 88 2017 Vanguardist ‘V’ Chardonnay, ADL Hills SA 98 2019 A Rodda ‘Willow Lake’ Chardonnay, Yarra Valley VIC 88 2017 Taturry ‘Mosselini’ Chardonnay, Mornington Pen.

France, Etc Chardonnay’s spiritual home is arguably Chablis and the Côtes De Beaune in central France. Steeped in history and home to some of the finest winemakers in the world, there is little question as to why these wines are amongst the most prized Whites in existence.

Not Quite Red Rosé wine has been the quiet achiever in the wine world for a great many years. From the dry, herbaceous provincial styles to the more fruit driven New World expressions, the ‘pink drink’ has and will always have its place in the world’s restaurants and bars. 2019 Famille Cros-Pujol ‘Les Vignes,’ IGP Languedoc FR 55 2019 Poachers Vineyard Rosé, Murrumbateman ACT 70 2019 Terre Nere Etna Rosato, Sicily IT 105
Pinot Noir and Friends As every Queen has her King, so Chardonnay has Pinot Noir. A wine that is as versatile as the places that make it, Pinot may be a trick to grow, but if handled correctly rewards drinkers with a depth and complexity few wines can match. 2019 Pike and Joyce ‘Rapide’ Pinot Noir ADL Hills SA 55 2018 Allies Wines ‘Assemblage’ Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula VIC 78 2020 Gentle Folk ‘Village’ Pinot Noir, ADL Hills SA 85 2017 Whisson Lake ‘White Label’ Pinot Noir, ADL Hills SA 115 2016 Priory Ridge Pinot Noir, St Helens TAS 79 2018 Koyama Wines Pinot Noir, Nth Cantebury NZ 80 2019 Shadowfax Pinot Noir, Macedon Ranges VIC 65 2019 Novum Pinot Noir, Marlborough NZ 125 2019 Irrewarra Pinot Noir (From A Farr), Western VIC 135 2019 La Violetta ‘Ye-Ye Rouge’ Pinot Nero, Syrah, Meunier 70 2017 Mac Forbes ‘Woori Yallock’ Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley VIC 120 2018 Tout Pres By Farr Pinot Noir, Geelong VIC 240 2016 Amisfield ‘RKV’ Reserve Pinot Noir, Ctrl Otago NZ 265

From Rhone to Jumilla , And Those they Inspir ed The Mediterranean basin, from Spain’s east coast and across the south of France, is arguably Europe’s hotbed for forward thinking winemakers – sustainable vineyard practices are the norm, and medium bodied, complex and savoury reds are like the region’s mother’s milk.

Vodka 30 mL/60 mL Vodka is a pretty relaxed category of spirit. Made from anything that contains starch and distilled in pretty much any way; as long as you can blast it up to high proof relatively quickly, you can produce vodka. High quality vodka, on the other hand, takes a little more craftsmanship.

Whiskies Scottish Blends Ballantines 9 Ballantines 17yr 13 Johnnie Walker ‘Red Rye’ 12 Johnnie Walker ‘Gold Reserve’ 14 Monkey Shoulder 10 Whiskies from the Isles The Scottish island style is greatly varied, but will commonly present a ‘maritime’ quality, a light saltiness on the palate, and often infused with the pleasant smoky qualities of peat.

Mainland Scotland The largest of the Scottish whisky sub-regions, Highland and Speyside whiskies are generally full-bodied, rich and sweet. Rarely if ever smokey, often joyously aged in ex-sherry barrels to bring a variety of flavours, from dried fruits and spices to nuts, honey and caramel.

Tequila/Mezcal Tequila and Mezcal are both a part of one big, happy family – made in Mexico from members of the Agave family, that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Tequila, from the Blue Weber Agave, speaks of sweetness and soft fruit, whereas Mezcal, made from any member of the Agave family, presents mineral, faint smoke and earth.
