It’s been a ridiculously long time since I last published a newsletter, so to reassure you that I haven’t packed in the whole Substack thing, I thought I’d give you a round-up of the wine-related activities I’ve been up to in the last few weeks.
I'm pleased you enjoyed The Giant Steps Single Vineyard Bastard Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2023. They are based in Healesville, part of the Yarra Valley not far from home. We are going there on the 27th June. I don't think this premium wine will be available to taste.
Tyrell’s Winemaker’s Selection Vat 1 Hunter Valley Semillon 2018 is a classic but beyond my budget.

You mentioned many other good Aussie wines too.
Yes Thomas, plenty to enjoy!
That wine and crisp pairing is giving me flashbacks of my sommelier qualification - also a bit hit and miss. Good to have you back on Substack!
Thanks Nathaniel - I’m a bit sceptical re the value of wine and food pairing full stop.
