Gourmets of Wine > A fine Australian winery

[::the daily bread:: a food blog] (They apparently also have a shop in Richmond, but I have never been to that one). They have the best selection of Australian wine that I have encountered at any shop outside Australia. It is actually not that difficult to get very high good quality Australian wine in the major chains (especially Oddbins) and supermarkets (especially Sainsbury's) in the UK, but if you want one of the more unusual and particularly Australian styles of wine, or something from an interesting small winery, you are often out of luck. And if I am cooking dinner for friends or going to a dinner party, something Australian and interesting is often what I want to have.

[Shirazshiraz.blogspot.com] Shiraz: Davies worked in a wine shop just around he corner from Pickett. In 1998, Pickett and Gittens ”˜took a road trip up to the Santa Ynez Valley to taste some wine and play some golf. "He was a long time divorced," says Davies, "but he had learned that his ex-wife was about to remarry." (Gittens says that Davies was invited on the trip but had to work; Davies has no memory of this.) The trip started Pickett on a novel, and in '99, he showed Davies the manuscript, then entitled Two Guys on Wine, "which was a horrible title. He used it because they stopped at Fess Parker winery, and Fess actually signed a magnum to Two Guys on Wine."'

Spittoon.biz[Spittoon.biz] Spittoon - wine news and tasting notes.: The device will cost around £40 and each treatment approximately £3, giving regular wine lovers as well as sommeliers a chance to rescue their cherished bottles. Dream Taste works by using an ionised material known as a copolymer to absorb the cork taint molecules in the wine. Users simply have to decant the corked wine into a plastic V-shaped decanter and then immerse the copolymer, shaped like a bunch of grapes, until the taint disappears. Once all the contaminated molecules have been withdrawn the copolymer is thrown away and the wine is ready to drink."
