First Drop Wines Moderno Barbera 2023
Bright and touch lighter in the glass than some Barberas I've tasted of late, this release from First Drop Wines pushes its case for a cool evening with a hearty meal. Sourced from the Adelaide Hills, juicy red cherries, plums and energetic blackberries build a respectable fruit profile. Tilled earth, olive tapenade, and tree bark add savoury nuances with a fine mist of soft spices coating the palate. Red apple skin rushes late with crunchy red apple acidity on close. Tense tannins cling to a long finish and tease with a moreish factor. A most enjoyable take on this Piedmont delight. 92/100 Region: Adelaide Hills RRP: $30 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Sorby Adams Gudilly Rosé 2026
My first review from the 2026 vintage, this Gudilly Rosé from Sorby Adams is fun, energetic and a glass full of joy. Made from a blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir (66/34) sourced from the Riverland, a riot of watermelon, the white bit of the watermelon, rhubarb and red currants burst from the glass to appease the taste buds. Devilishly fragrant with dried red petals and strawberries hitting the zone, an unmissable lick of strawberries and cream is partnered by apricot kernel and red apple skin. Well priced and sure to bring a smile to your dial, there is a lot to like about this. 91/100 Region: Riverland RRP: $24 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Beyond Zinfandel: Six Mediterranean Varieties to Explore in Lodi
Lodi’s tasting rooms reflect a region that has grown far beyond a single defining grape. Alongside its historic Zinfandel plantings, growers have spent decades working with Mediterranean and Iberian varieties that thrive in the same warm days and cool nights. Albariño from cuttings brought directly from Spain, Cinsaut from century-old vineyards, and Tempranillo that reflects its Old World origins all have a place here. With more than 130 grape varieties planted across the region, Zinfandel is only part of the story. These six varieties highlight the range of what Lodi is growing today. Klinker Brick Winery Albariño Albariño Native to the Atlantic-facing Rías Baixas region of Spain, Albariño has quietly become one of Lodi's signature whites . Lodi’s warm days and cool nights give the vines what they need to ripen fully while holding onto their hallmark acidity, and the region's deep sandy loams let the variety run with vigor. Markus B

Lucky Vines closes tasting room in Dublin
Image credit: Lucky Brewing Co. Lucky Vines Vineyard & Winery has announced the closure of its tasting room in Dublin. While not explicitly mentioned, this presumably means the company's side project, Lucky Brewing Co., is closing as well. Owners Jeff and Kimberley Hutchins added house beers to the menu in August 2021, roughly three years after opening the winery in late 2018. The company's name and logo had an Irish theme, in deference to the more famous Dublin city across the pond, which extended to stylistic beer offerings like Beour Blonde, Emerald Isle IPA and Luck-in Bock. From a social media post: "After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close the Lucky Vines Vineyard & Winery Tasting Room." This is not goodbye to Lucky Vines — it is simply the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. While our Tasting Room has closed, Lucky Vines will continue through wine sales, private events, and honoring all currently booked events. We are excite
