A quick, light, and delicious dinner of ‘Spanish eggs’ is a popular choice. Tonight, we freestyled tomatoes, capsicum, chorizo, olive oil, eggs, chilli, & parsley.
With perfect wine? Houdini McLaren Vale Grenache Carignan.

After a recent tasting I picked up a cheeky knock off. The @royal.jamaican Ginger Beer was a hit. Straight out of Kingston. Home brew style, fermented to dryness using fresh ginger. Refreshing, spicy with a good ginger heat!

Last week we put our Willunga Magic Dirt alongside a beef stout pie. Continuing the theme, I thought I would road test the @swellbeer Winter Session Foreign Export Stout that we used for the pie!

WBW - 2018 Domaine Lucien Jacob Aligoté from Burgundy. A little known variety is a X BTW Pinot & Gouais. In the shadow of Chardonnay, Aligoté was seen in the 18th c and apart from making whites , is often used in the production of Crémant de Bourgogne.

Matt's in Seoul, South Korea, so yesterday on WBW he tasted a local brew Cass Fresh. Perfect for the middle of summer with the warm humid weather. An American style lager that suits the climate. Cold, wet and easy drinking.

Week #22: This week it was time for a new vintage of Cabernet being blended and the last of the 2023 Cabernet batches going to barrel, as such it felt like a game of tetris, juggling tanks and barrels of wine.

Yesterday on WBW, Matt went to Spain. In particular, the appellation of Rías Biaxas, where the Paco & Lola co-operative is based. They represent 400 growers who provide the wonderful fruit for this 2021 Albariño. #Spain#whitewine#albariño#seafood https://t.co/f2bedvUQ5o
Last week on Wine Back Wednesday, Matt goes back to where the Smidge story began. The 2005 Langhorne Creek “Tardy” Zinfandel is the topic of conversation today. 18 years young and hanging on. https://t.co/p5QgS5jKWj

This week marked the last load of fruit for 2023 to hit the winery. With only 2 ferments and the Muscat left to press off, it will be 56 consecutive, twelve+(++) hour days to take beautiful berries and transform them into, memorable and delicious wines.
Cheers! #australianwine
