November 10 Release

 

Australia’s cult red is back! Act fast because The Dead Arm Shiraz never hangs around. There’s a great Niagara cab franc blend and some good whites too.

>>>


October 27 Release

In synch with the falling leaves (and temps), there’s a lot of fuller bodied reds in this release. Some interesting Australians combining Old and New World styles too.

>>>


September 29 Release

Vive la (sud de la) France! And the Midi and Rhone as well. Chateauneuf-du-Pape delivers strongly, and there's lots of other good stuff too.

>>>


September 15 Release

There are a few Old World charmers to ease us into autumn, including great wines from Bordeaux and Tuscany. There's New Worlds too and, appropriately, this week it's about reds.

>>>


September 1 Release

It's pinot noir time at the wine dispensary this week. A decent range, including Burgundies and other good examples, plus a truly great champagne.

>>>


August 18 Release

It's Chile's turn this week at Vintages. The skinny: not the best effort, but at least cheap. France, California, Oz & NZ and a great buy from Portugal too.

>>>


August 4 Release
This week's featured Spanish wines should fly off the shelves: great quality in both reds and whites. Three worthwhile New World whites as well.
