1 - Inama 2007 $16

Most people in the world want predictable wines. I want to make wines that are bloody different, and wines that are different year to year " - Stephano Inama.

And so he does, 100% Garganega, hand harvest from vineyards of Basaltic Lava. Light yellow in color, with an elegant nose of Camomile and Elder flower.










2 - Ondarre Reserva Rioja 2002 $18


This is an awesome find. Intense cherry red color. Aromas of oak ageing with hints of spices. Strong attack, good backbone, full-flavoured, with well integrated long-lasting tannins.

Long and persistent finish. 16 months in American and French oak casks of the Bordeaux type, with racking performed four times.

Only released for sale when ready for drinking at its best.







3 - Steltzner Claret 2006 $18


This has intense, deep red-violet color, and ruby hues, showing the concentration of the grapes.

The wine shows aromas of black fruit jam and liqueur, with notes of vanilla, chocolate and smoke.

On the palate, it is ample and rich, with a long finish and soft tannins.

4 - Domaine Du Gour Chaule Gigondas 2004 $35

The Domaine du Gour Chaule comprises 15 hectares, 10 of which are within Gigondas with the remaining 5 situated in the surrounding communes of Vacqueyras and Violes. The proprietor, Aline Bonfils believes strongly in Grenache as the heart and soul of Gigondas. Thus, 85% of the vineyards are planted to Grenache, with approximately 10% dedicated to Syrah and Mourvedre and the balance planted to Cinsault.

There is a three week cuvaison. A small amount of press juice is added back to the cuvee. Malolactic fermentation takes place in cuve and, after the malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is racked into large oak "foudres" where it stays for approximately 18 months. The wine is racked no more than three times before it is bottled - unfined and unfiltered - 30 to 36 months after harvest.

New oak is not used at this domaine. The resulting wine is sturdy, braced with sweet, dusty tannins, and intensely aromatic with notes of crushed white pepper, oriental spices and game.

Thanks for all of the support, comments and suggestions - we appreciate all of it.

Please Join Us.
It's fun, informal and a great way to start your weekend.
