    Picking the Perfect Gift for Wine Drinkers 

    There is no question about it – almost everyone enjoys an elegant glass of quality wine. However, some people are just crazy for the red nectar, and never seem to get enough. If you (or your friend’s) love of wine runs as deep as the…

    19 Crimes Shiraz is Criminally Good 

    I first spotted the dusky, opaque bottle of 19 Crimes Shiraz on the wine shelf of a friend’s house. It’s branding looked so good I was compelled to ask about it. They loved it — a wine they kept around for an occasion that called for…

    How to Perfectly Pair Wines & Desserts 

    Every wine connoisseur should know how to pair their favourite drink with desserts. If you are interested in expanding your wine drinking experience, learn from the Italians. They are well-known for their hedonistic lifestyle, so it should not come as surprising that they stay longer…

    Wine Tasting: Less Bullshit Than You’d Think 

    Ok, let me be quite frank. There is some element of bullshit to wine tasting. Wine tasters and critics who are able to eke out every faint soupcon of flavour may tend to exaggerate just a tad. And what about those wine critics who were…

    Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc Is a Lavish, Balanced Wine 

    I’ll never forget the first time I tried Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc. I was much younger, and at the time a complete red wine evangelist. I sneered at white wine and drinkers of it as an inferior class. As it turns out (unsurprisingly) it was me…

    ‘What’s a Wine?’ Part VI: Getting to Know Your Wine Grapes 2.0 

    While every single wine is different, and their flavours dependent on a multitude of factors, the type of wine grapes used generally has an enormous impact and can provide deep insight into the wine you’re drinking. It shouldn’t be taken as gospel truth, but rather…

    Antinori Pèppoli Chianti Classico Makes a Pefect Meal Pairing 

    There are some who argue that wine is meant to be had with food. Others (including myself) believe some wines are best consumed solo. But, on occasion, a wine like Antinori Pèppoli Chianti Classico comes along that pairs so well with a meal, you wonder why you…

    Pol Roger Brut Champagne: A New Treat for a New Year 

    Every New Year’s Eve I treat myself to a new Champagne (as good an excuse as any to spend far too much on a bottle of booze), and give it a review. This year, based on numerous recommendations, I opted for Pol Roger Reserve Brut…

    What’s a ‘Wine’? V: When to Send Back a Bottle 

    When you order a bottle of wine at a restaurant, the accompanying ceremony can seem a bit silly and unnecessary. You are presented with a small sample to swirl, smell, sip, and – inevitably – affirm as, “Excellent, thank you.” What’s the point? I mean,…

    Mulderbosch Faithful Hound: A Love Story 

      Some wines you drink because they taste amazing. Some wines you drink for the nostalgia value – there’s a special memory or association attached to it. And sometimes, there’s that magic combination of both, something I’m pleased to have found in the wonderful Mulderbosch…
