MUNAKRA Gin – Gin Of The Week By Maxim
MUNAKRA Gin – Handcrafted Vienna Dry Gin I have rarely seen a gin crafted with such care and attention to detail as the MUNAKRA Handcrafted Vienna Dry Gin. The unique bottle shape, the cork tied with a handcrafted string, the beautiful embossed paper – it’s definitely one of the gems in my collection. A big […]

Chateau Langoa Barton 2001
Is this the vinous equivalent of that old, comfortable, slightly moth eaten woollen cardigan at the back of your closet? An evocative nose - but odd (compared to what I’ve been drinking recently, which is not claret) - camphor and leather to open, a curious fusty perfume, it's only later that I find any fruit - more plum than black currant. Very savoury, long and fine tannins, leafy, mature, dense, meaty and inky. Quite suave. Riddled with brettanomyces, but likeable. On blind tasting - I've been reading Andy Clark's book - 'The Experience Machine' , it's about the idea that our brains operate as predictive machines. Our expectations (coloured by our conditioning) determine how we interpret sensory signals. . . For instance - I sniff at a blinded white wine - a hint of grass and green, it's very sharp in the mouth, medium bodied. . . I think, automatically and lazily - semillon. . . which makes me cautiously reflect every time I think semillon it ends up being a riesl

Farm Like the World Depends On It
In this episode of Troon Talk, we welcome special guest Elizabeth Whitlow, executive director of the Regenerative Organic Alliance, and Garett Long, Troon Vineyard and Farm director of agriculture. The Regenerative Organic Alliance’s slogan is “ Farm like the world depends on it,” which it does. Slogans are a lot easier to write than do. It has been a growing experience at Troon Vineyard & Farm —which seems appropriate—to be an early adopter of the Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC) — the second winery in the world, and now, one of four farms globally to achieve Regenerative Organic Gold Certified® status. It has been a transformational experience. A few were alpha testers; we were beta testers, and today, there are millions of Regenerative Organic certified acres. What once was only an idea is becoming a movement. The keywords are, of course, regenerative and organic. You must be USDA organically certified to apply to be Regenerative Organic Certified.

Guinness World Records Crowns 328-Year-Old Bottle as World’s Oldest Cognac
The appeal of vintage spirits, or “dusties” is two-fold. They function as a time capsule, offering a tangible view into another era of distilled spirits, but there’s also the exclusivity element. Once a dusty’s gone, there’s a slim chance that you’ll find another one just like it. And on August 11, the Guinness World Records association officially recognized what is possibly the mother of all vintage spirits: a bottle of 1696 Jules Robin Cognac owned by Cognac collector Lars Janssen in the Netherlands.

August 2024
Grosset G110 Riesling 2022 . Watervale, Clare Valley. 12.9%. Screw cap. Approx $A135. A super wine, though I’m not sure I’ll bite again. . . It’s very similar in character and quality to the cheaper Polish Hill (which is still around $A80). A single clone wine - the small berried Geisenheim 110. Very intense and pure; chalk and talc, bath salts and lime. Sharp, blade like acidity. A trio of Pinot noir couplets. . . Hochkirch Maximus Pinot noir 2021 . Pretty nose, delicate fruit and florals with woodsmoke. Muscular tannins, expansively fleshy palate. Needs time . The Pyramid Valley North Caterbury Pinot noir 2020 was fine and softer in structure, with Lovely mid palate zip and spice . The next two a contrast in tannins. The Castlerock Estate A&W 2022. Porongurup has more cedar and spice, it seems old school, Shiraz like in emphasis. . . The Bubb + Pooley 2022 Coal River finer and softer, but still with weight and depth. There’s more fi
