Wine Week 109: Wine, bushfires and how you can help.

February 13th, 2009

Last weekend saw a series of horrific fires around parts of Victoria, Australia. More than 180 lives have been lost and more than 1,000 homes. As well many wineries have been effected, with some losing everything. With this in mind we focus on a couple of wineries touched by the fires and tell you how you can support the rebuilding process. The first wine is a pinot noir, a classic Yarra Valley grape, from Punt Road. The second is a non-vintage sparkling from Domaine Chandon. Check below for how you can help those affected!

This week’s recommendations are:

  • Punt Road pinot noir 2006 ($19-25)
  • Domaine Chandon Brut NV ($18-23)

How can you help those affected by the Victorian bushfires?
