 Ochota Barrels The Green Room Grenache Rating: B Price: $40

There have been some very good decisions made in the winemaking industry. Planting Cabernet Sauvignon in the Coonawarra as an example or Max Schubert deciding his bosses were wrong and continuing to make a wine now known as Grange.

Another very good decision was for George and Jo to buy a vineyard and plant as they say “a little patch” of vines which includes

The photo reflects the taste and smell of the wine but what it doesn’t show is the gutsy decisions that were made to create this wine. The fact that George bought a

 on a whim and then they planted some still relatively unknown varieties to mainstream wine drinkers.

All of this has paid off with a beautiful wine. If I could have found some leather and tobacco, I would have added that in the glass as well.

To George, Jo and all those other winemakers and owners who make those brave decisions to make something different, plant something new, cheers.

 George’s Folly Unguarded Moment Nero d’Avola Rating: B

Region: Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia

Firstly open this wine at least an hour before drinking or decanter (trust me, this wine deserves it)

The smell is really enticing, while the taste is full of dark fruits, but its the ending that I love. I savour every last drop in my mouth and squeeze every bit of flavour from my tongue. Its firm and dry but I'm already looking forward to the next sip. A very good wine. It has a level of flavour and a bite that I enjoy. Recommendation: Buy 3 (at least)

Have one now and keep the others for a few years, I think this wine will develop into greatness and I bet you wished you had bought 6 or even 12. 🍷

Bold, round and plump. Combined with some spice, this is a juicy wine that combines the best of a fruit forward wine with some savoury glamour.

A great combination of two Italian grapes made with that Aussie Flair.

Could be paired with everything from a slow cooked brisket to a bold cheese, maybe even a blue…simple…

Lack of good sense; foolishness, “an act of sheer folly”

To understand you will have to buy a bottle (or six)
