Simply Wines

Simply Wines Melbourne & Australia's Premier Best Online Wine Store & Official Distributor-Grassl Glass. Not forgetting Tasmania with the superb Pinot Noir and Riesling.

Established in 2009, SIMPLY WINES has been searching the world over for hard to find wines. Being Victorian, we do have a soft spot for regions like the Yarra Valley, Beechworth, Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong. We still love classic South Australian Shiraz from the Clare Valley, Barossa, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra, and who can pass up some of the most prestigious wines in Australia f

rom Margaret River in Western Australia. Let's also mention the Hunter Valley and Canberra wine regions. Yes, it's obvious SIMPLY WINES loves fine wine. We love nothing better than sitting with friends, glass in hand, sharing the experience of a newly opened bottle and the memories of the time and place. Service is our mark and we pride ourselves on it, our customers are important to us. SIMPLY WINES is the exclusive importer of Grassl Glass to Australia, a range of fine mouth blown glassware designed in Switzerland. We stock a small range of high-quality boutique wine, usually where quantities are too small for the big outlets.

Have you tried wine 30, 40 or 50 years old?
What was your experience like and did you enjoy the wine?
Trying can take you to many places near and far.
Often meeting new people and sharing stories about life and fascinating wines.
This Wynn’s Black Label 1985 Cabernet Sauvignon was one of those special wines.
It had barely moved an inch from this cellar it’s whole life.
One word, EPIC!

Is Dom Perignon your one true love?
Dom Perignon is always a vintage Champagne.
The first vintage was 1921 and was only released for sale in 1936.
What are your favourite vintages?
This 2004 was drinking superbly.
Major thanks to for kindly sharing this scintillating Champagne.
Will this Grande Marque ever lose it’s sparkle?

Cork vs screw cap…
You have a choice, pick one from this cellar containing either a cork or screw cap.
This quirky cellar is located under a house in Everton.
Can you believe the previous owners sold the house with about 300 bottles of wine left in it.
Upon hearing this I had to check it out.
The temperature seemed relatively ok.
Although looking at the wines with cork many looked in rough condition.
Wines ranging from Nyora 2003 Shiraz (Syrah) and Tollana Moomba 1980 Claret.
Sad to say the Tollana Moomba Claret was about 40 years past it’s best.
It had to be tried though, right?!

It’s raining Pinot Noir!
The de-stemmer in action, what a machine!
Can anyone guess the replacement cost of this machine?

Pick your wine?
Are you Right or Left bank Bordeaux?
Do you prefer the 1995 or 2000 vintage?
It’s Chateau Troplong Mondot vs Chateau Talbot.
Both were drinking phenomenally well!
Corks were perfect.
A very difficult decision to make lovers!

What’s the best way to arrange a cellar?
There are many options to consider when organising a cellar.
For instance you could arrange the wine by grape variety, would you start with red or white wine first.
Next could be producer followed by vintage.
Maybe you like the unorthodox approach of having wines spread all over the cellar in no particular order.
I’m intrigued to hear what everyone thinks!
Particularly interested to hear what my mate has to say 🍷😉!

If you could have one or more pallets of your favourite what would it be?
