I was shocked by the disconnection, sense of entitlement and utter tone deafness of the response by the 15 Future Leaders of Australian wine to the industry's One Grape & Wine Sector Plan. Here's why. https://t.co/pSMbbY1JWU
As usual, there's a total lack of willingness for those employed by Australian wine to face up to reality. Jeremy Oliver reacts to a recent article in The Australian with a dose of reality: Can Thor save Australian Wine? https://t.co/fpIefYI7rH via @LinkedIn
After a few years of radio silence I'm back to work as a full-time wine critic. I'm launching Oliver's Wines https://t.co/5CU2ahuJZ4, a free and 100% independent platform that uses IT to connect each user with the wines they love... your personal wine coach. Please check it out.
Today I opened a bottle for which my expectations were humble, but which stole my heart. From 2017 Clare comes The Assemblage by Pikes (was $26), proof that good Australian sites and makers can fashion a southern Rhone blend of conviction and class - and sell it for a song.
I never complain on this sort of medium. Ever. But can someone tell Channel 7 that it should be quite a simple thing to broadcast live Test Cricket? Really???
There are still places available for this amazing dinner at Matteo's next week that puts the best wines from Tasmania and Victoria against some exceptional French benchmarks. Hope to see you there!
Back in the wine dinner frame at Matteo's - starting off with a celebration of 5 classic Australian wines. We're matching 3 vintages of each with exceptional cuisine. Word of mouth has almost filled the event, but a few places remain. Please be very quick indeed!
I've been determined to write a positive story about Australian wine. So I have. The good news is that given the will, it shouldn't be too hard for our winemakers to dig themselves out of the hole so many find themselves in right now... #australianwine#q…https://t.co/FdvhxxAqnh
