Quaff or Cook?
In these times of austerity it has come to my sad attention that I can no longer afford to drink fancy wine every night – tragic I know! However, as I do drink 6 out of 7 nights (Monday, aka Bad Monday being my night off), it is my new mission to seek out yummy, drinkable wines for under $18. … Read More

What we drank last night – Chalk Hill 2019 Tempranillo Grenache
Another week without the bars, pubs and wineries means another order from Jim Murphy’s Market Cellars – strictly research of course. This week I ordered a few local Canberra favourites along with a some random bottles from the Barossa, Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. I like to keep my options open and while I tend towards cooler climate drops these … Read More

What we drank last night – Cooks Lot 2013 Chardonnay
It’s been a year since I visited Orange and tonight we’re opening Cooks Lot 2013 Chardonnay which was one of the acquisitions from this trip. Orange wine makers talk about elevation as an important factor in grape growing and while it isn’t the only region in Australia that puts forward elevation as one of the elements of the ‘terroir’, it is … Read More
What we drank last night – Knappstein 2014 Riesling
I chose tonight’s wine knowing what was on the dinner menu. Smoked salmon fish cakes were being served up so I picked a Riesling as this wine is generally higher in acidity which will cut nicely through the oiliness of the salmon. Riesling used to be my ‘go to wine’ as far as white wine is concerned, however over the … Read More
What we drank last night – Affleck 2013 Chardonnay
A few months ago, I ventured out to Bywong. Quaint part of the world where you can hear the gentle strum of the banjo…it feels fairly removed from Canberra but really only a half hour drive although with our 12 month old daughter protesting loudly in the backseat, it felt a lot longer! As I gritted my teeth and drove … Read More
