We’ve had a little break, but it’s time to get back to business! Brad spent a bit of time up around Beechworth in Victoria’s north east, and came back with a Chardonnay from Savaterre that is worth the wait.

Danny looks at a Brand’s Laira Cabernet that’s classic Coonawarra and Brad rounds things out with a funky bottle named The Squid’s Fist from rogue producers Some Young Punks.

This week’s recommendations are:

• Savaterre Chardonnay 2009 ($68-$75)
• Brand’s Laira Blockers Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 ($17-20)
• Some Young Punks The Squid’s Fist 2010 ($21-25)

Yes, Chardonnay Day was last week. But why stop now? Especially when you’ve got a Chardonnay as good as the 2008 Voyager Estate from Margaret River to enjoy!

It’s been a while since we looked at a Zinfandel, but Brad’s got one from McLaren Vale that’s great value and great drinking. Danny checks out the newest release Pinot Noir from storied brand Heemskerk, a great drop from Tasmania.

This week’s recommendations are:

• Voyager Estate Chardonnay 2008 ($38-$42)
• Kangarilla Road Black St. Peters Zinfandel 2008 ($27-30)
• Heemskerk Derwent Valley Pinot Noir 2008 ($55-60)
