Shirazamataz! We tried a Peter Lehman 'The Barossan' Shiraz from the Barossa Valley this week - a great wine with a super price.
This wine has a real punch of flavour and a luscious, full body. Check out the video!
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. My next stop on my journey was doing my own wine tours in the Okanagan for 6 years. Now I'm retired (again) and just drinking - and tasting - wine! Join me as we taste a new wine every couple of weeks!

G'day, mate! Join me this week as we taste a wine from the Hunter Valley region of Australia. I do love a good Semillon - and the Okanagan has a lot of them. But how does that compare to the Hunter Valley, one of the major Semillon producers in the world? Check out the video and find out! This is a 2018 Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon.
Join me this week as we taste a wine from the Carineña region of Spain! The wine, a 2013 Monasterio de Las Viñas, is a blend of Garnacha (Grenache) Tempranillo, Carineña (Mazuelo) and Cabernet Sauvignon. Great aromas and a very nice taste. Check out the video!
This time we taste a Dao wine from Portugal. This red blend is a mere $15 and has a HUGE amount of aromas on the nose - check it out! This is a 2019 Bodega de Penalva Dao Indigena Vino Tinto.
This time we taste a light but tasty 2018 Perez Cruz Reserva Cab Sauv from the Maipo Valley in Chile. South American wines delivery really great value and this is no exception!
Join me this week when we taste a $15 Cab Sauv from the Uco Valley of Argentina. This 2018 Uko Select Vineyards wine is from the Uco Valley in Mendoza in Argentina. Even when it's not on sale, this wine packs a great wallop of taste for the price. Fruity, herbaceous, and elegant, this Cab Sauv is a lighter wine and is not just for grilled steak. Check it out!
This time we try a fabulous wine - a 2017 Tommasi Poggio Al Tufo Rompicollo - just perfect to accompany a bowl of spaghetti Bolognese! And.. a great price!
