This week we look at three wines that really sing. The first is a Coonawarra red that showcases the Aussie duet of Cabernet and Shiraz. The next is a chart-topping Rutherglen muscat that the reviewers all love. And finally we look at a Barossa riesling which is a true headline act without the big ticket price.
This week we look at three wines perfect for opening up after your main meal is done. The first is a Muscat which is under the vino-lok closure to make sure the wine is at its best. The next is a sweet white made in the style of the great French sauturnes. And it wouldn’t be a dessert wine special without looking at a brilliant fortified from Rutherglen.
In Australia Christmas and New Year have been hot, hot, hot! So with this in mind we’ve chosen three wines that are perfect for helping you cool down and chill out. First we look at a crisp, fresh riesling from WA. Then it’s off to Spain for a super dry sherry that’s brilliant chilled. And finally we look at a red that is a great option for those warm summer days.

As always our criteria was to pick our favourite bottles based both on the quality of the wine and value for money. It would have been simple to pick the 12 most expensive wines but we think that there are some absolutely brilliant bargains out there. If a wine is a brilliant drop and is awesome value for money it ranks pretty high with us.

This week we celebrate a terrific event with the birth of Danny and partner Jacqui’s first baby – daughter Chloe! So we look at three wines which are perfect for marking an important occasion.

The final wine is a Rutherglen fortified, a classic fathers day present for sure!
With winter well and truly on us in the southern hemisphere we thought it a perfect time to look at three fortified wines ideal for nights in front of a fire. We check out a tokay, a muscat and a port style that are each brilliant at ridiculously inexpensive prices given the quality.
