Wine and food matching is overrated. Pour a glass of this Home Block Minchella Shiraz and have it with a packet of Freckles by your side. Job done. Oh, and this is a great wine too! It's very impressive. buff.ly/3Xu5mpq @drwespearson

From the hands of the AWRI guru Dr Wes Pearson comes this Juxtaposed Grenache. A blend of fruit from the famed Smart and Wait vineyards (Clarendon and Blewitt Springs respectively), this 2021 is a muscular rendition. buff.ly/3CKWfHL

Research outcomes in practice: adding air to one of my Grenache ferments to promote healthy yeast propagation and help eliminate reductive aromas. Just like I talked about in this @The_AWRI video youtu.be/ckpL18fSEug

Fair to say that never before on March 20th, have I not had any red grapes fermenting. Strange vintage. #v22

As winemaker Wes Pearson says, "An expression of the Sandy Corner Block in 2020 and nothing more." Wes sure does love to stay out of the way and let the fruit do the talking. An excellent wine, clear the landing strip and descend on this. buff.ly/3oRebuc @dodgybrothers

#WineoftheWeek - A ripping McLaren Vale Shiraz, it is one of those wines I'd prefer to drink than review - that says it all really. Normally the backbone of the @dodgybrothers Shiraz, this was too good to not bottle separately. buff.ly/3uEMDJ7

My own personal hell would be being locked in a room and forced to assemble poorly made office furniture.

A wine suitable for medium-term cellaring, this needs some beef or lamb by its side. buff.ly/3nUzsA0 @dodgybrothers

A little cloudy - just the way Wes Pearson likes it. A textural rollercoaster ride to your happy place. It ducks and weaves while you sway and swerve. Yum! buff.ly/2JuwDGw @dodgybrothers
