Vinteloper Rogue Pinot Noir 2024
This is an uber cool Pinot that evokes wine bar beats with the lights turned down low. Some wines seek analytics and scores, yet others, like this, seek companionship, cosy corners and echoes of laughter. Splash this around liberally and you'll know what I mean. David Bowley has been sourcing fruit from this vineyard for some time, but these barrels showed some 'pixie dust', so he says. From the Kuipto district of the Adelaide Hills, it sees French oak for ten months (35% new). Dark cherries, blackberry leaf, orange peel, cured meats and bacon hock make a mighty first impression. Waves of savoury nuances follow and cascade effortlessly in the form of dried leaves, twigs, tilled earth, a faint hint of pine needle and mushroom compost. Delicate spices wrap themselves around the frame and drive long. Although a touch linear on the palate, the use of whole bunches is evident with that savoury thumbprint. Perhaps the best way to consider this wine in three words is savoury, effortles

"With dessert." That might be the biggest misconception in all of Bordeaux. The finest Barsac wines aren't simply dessert wines. They're extraordinary food wines, pairing beautifully with foie gras, spicy Asian cuisine, blue cheeses, roast turkey, shellfish, and countless dishes where their vibrant acidity balances their remarkable richness. Once you discover that, everything changes. No estate demonstrates that better than Château Coutet. A First Growth in the original 1855 Classification, Château Coutet has long been recognized as one of the benchmark producers of Barsac. Under the leadership of Aline Baly, the château has become not only

Burton McMahon D’Aloisio’s Vineyard Chardonnay 2024
Asserting itself with a lean and pristine persona, this D'Aloisio's Chardonnay from Burton McMahon is chiselled, deliberate, focused and bloody delicious. From a vineyard 230 metres above in the Seville district of the Yarra Valley, white-fleshed nectarines and bright grapefruit set the tone with a subtle nuttiness as cashews and nougat are woven effortlessly throughout. Layers of woodsy spices and vanilla cream elevate the flavour profile with flashes of green apple darting about, adding brightness and energy. Balanced and focused, the elegance struts as some depth motions ever so quietly in the background with a Mediterranean tonic texture presence. A striking and compelling Chardonnay that is utterly delicious, there is a strong case here for you to indulge. And so you should, it's excellent. 95/100 Region: Yarra Valley RRP: $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Ballandean Estate Chardonnay 2024
Sitting on the richer side of the Chardonnay spectrum, this release from Ballandean Estate possesses charming appeal and is ready for a cool, wet evening with a roast chook in the oven. Barbecued peach, lemon balm, old school lemonade and Danish pastry aromas flow with ease to an expressive and generous palate. Nougat, vanilla slice, almonds and roasted cashews add some savoury appeal. Bickford's lemon cordial finds its moment to pounce, and time in oak is evident, delivering threads of creaminess that fold into the frame with ease. Fine ginger-like spice tap away on a lengthy finish. The longer I peruse, the more I want in, such is the balance and considered length. I have seen many Chardonnays with a similar frame and shape for $50+, so I was mightily impressed when I discovered that this chases a humble $36. Terrific drinking. Bravo! 93/100 Region: Granite Belt RRP: $36 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram

Session number 150: When porter was… amber?
Porter is a dark beer, right? Pretty much black. Well, that was not always the case, as the late Martyn Cornell explains in his 2025 book Porter & Stout. He describes 18th century London porter as “mid-brown or deep chestnut in colour at most” and, on the same page, quotes a contemporary source which refers […] Session number 150: When porter was… amber? originally posted at Boak & Bailey's Beer Blog

101 Ways to Drink Cafeto, According to Bartenders Who Actually Use It
We asked 101 bartenders—dives, hotel bars, rooftops, you name it—how they like to use Tromba’s Cafeto . No PR fluff. No syrupy shortcuts. Just the real ways it shows up in their drinks: shaken, stirred, topped with foam, or dumped into a cold brew when the shift runs long. The only rule? No repeating recipes. That’s when things got interesting. What we got back was a love letter to bold flavors, strong opinions, and a liqueur that plays nice with other spirits, but can hold its own in a glass. Some recipes are wild. Some are dead simple. All are worth trying. Let’s get into it. 1. Cafeto Old Fashioned No cherries. No drama. Just Cafeto, Tromba Añejo, a splash of bitters, and a cold rock in a lowball. Stir it like you mean it. Twist of orange if you’re feeling fancy. 2. Spiked Cold Brew Cafeto, real cold brew, a touch of vanilla, and maybe a splash of oat milk if you’ve got company. Serve over ice. Stay sharp. 3. Rogue Espresso Tonic Cafeto, a double shot of espresso, and tonic w
