At least not to the best of my knowledge it isn’t, otherwise most of the wine lovers that I associate with would be in jail right about now. Yet, last week I received the first threat of legal action against my site (after being around for 18 months now). I figure that it is probably […]

Another new Australian wine blog, this time started by the renowned taster David Lole from Canberra. He is just getting started, but there are a number of tasting notes posted already at http://www.davidlole.com.

As an introduction, the About page talks about some […]
Tyson Stelzer, screwcap expert and Australian wine writer has posted a roundup of thirty 2005 Australian Rieslings at his web site. 2005 is looking like the best overall vintage since 2002 for many of Australia’s Riesling regions. I’ve tasted some super examples from the Clare Valley and Eden Valley in South Australia along with Victoria […]
