PANETTONE COCKTAIL - Celebrate Christmas in style with this must-have, seasonal release from boutique cocktail brand Loro.

The 2024 edition pulls together some of our favourite Melbourne small-batch producers (Jimmy Rum, Marionette Orange liqueur, and Pennyweight Fortified wine) and is infused with the essence of Panettone’s delectable notes. The harmonious blend of citrus and baked goods in this cocktail is guaranteed to add a touch of sophistication to your festivities.

The product is a perfectly clear, full-bodied, baked goods & candied fruit bomb. Store at room temperature. Chill in the freezer for half an hour prior to serving.
Pour over ice, garnish with an orange peel.

STAFF PICKS TASTING - Sweet and delightful... This Gabby’s choice for 2024 as we get ready for our favourite tasting of the year. Ronchi di Cialla Verduzzo di Cialla 2017 🇮🇹❤️

Ah the annual Staff Picks, our Best of the Best from the last twelve months. We have spent the last year working hard to taste through as many great wines from around the world as possible and it all (partially) is leading up to this weekend in December. It’s like the Grand Final of tastings, the Clash of the Titans, The PWS Super Bowl…

Saturday of 14th December 12pm to 2pm

This is always such a wonderful tasting and a fantastic insight into what makes the wine minds here at Prince tick. As the team grows so does the selection and we always like to include a couple of picks from our Sydney and Melbourne staff and the crew from Bellota.

We are excited to see this year’s selection and hope you are too. We will have the staff on-site to pour on the day, have a chat about what makes their wine the best and of course a friendly little competition to see who sells the most.

The tasting is free but please book your spot so we know you are coming.

GIN-gel all the way - Are you after Christmas Gins or Gins for Christmas? 🍸🍸🎄🎄 Whatever your needs, we’ve got you covered with a very, merry selection of local distillates that are guaranteed to bring the festive cheer. Great for gifts, guests or just getting through the madness of party season. Get some onto your stocking!!

CHRISTMAS HAM - Yes, it’s back. We got the call from specialty butcher, Gamekeeper’s Australia, letting us know they were firing up their German smoker again for this year’s Christmas hams. Made from rare breed black pigs these are some of the best hams you are likely to try.

Head over to our website and you can pre-order your ham for this year. As in previous years, the hams are offered in half-leg and full-leg sizes. Simply drop down a deposit and we’ll calculate the price based on size when they arrive.

No two hams are alike and, as always, we invite you to nominate your ideal size and we will do our best to marry you to the perfect ham. As a guide, a typical full ham would weigh approximately 6 - 8 kg ($220) and a half would be approximately 3 - 4kg ($150).

Of course, all hams come with their own ham-bag (not handbag - still funny). Don’t miss out on this Prince Wine Store annual tradition.

CHRISTMAS MIX PACKS - For those who may be new here, the final packs of the year are all about celebratory drinking for the silly season. We are not trying to hit some fancy theme or wine challenge to test the metal of our tasting team. There are just two rules for the wines in these packs: they have to be flippin’ delicious and they have to be great value. Nailed it!

Three great packs to choose from:
Christmas Drinking Dozen
Christmas Magnum Party Pack
The Sweet Life

Get in quick before they all go,
Celebrate this year, with a ho, ho, ho!

BOURGOGNE BLANC SALE - After a re-shuffle of the white Burgundy shelf here at Prince we realised that we are well over-stocked with Bourgogne Blanc. Now, while generally not a bad problem to have in our minds it was looking a little out of hand and with more and more stock coming in the door we decided it was time to clear the decks a little for the silly season and offer 20% off all Bourgogne Blanc in the store.

Although not all of the White Burgundy range, those delicious wines in the Bourgogne Blanc category are ready waiting for you. Please note that some wines may only have 1 or 2 bottles available so once they are sold we are unable to get more - in other words, first-in best-dressed.

To access the pricing just jump online and start searching for your favourite Bourgogne Blanc, add them to your cart, and enter code BBLANC20 to receive 20% off the wines.

Viva la France!
Viva la Chardonnay!

We will be looking at a selection from the Aeolian Isles, Corsica, and Sardinia, and of course, Mt Etna as we always do while we cast the net even further afield to include regions like the Mallorca, Madeira, Santorini and maybe something a little fun from ELba. And if that wasn’t enough we are including some top-notch rum from across the Caribbean, a selection of Amaro, even some Etna Vermouth

A very, very cool tasting indeed!

MASTERCLASS - Brunello di Montalcino 2018 and 2019 Blind Masterclass 🇮🇹🍷⭐️

Love Brunello? You need to book this now! We have a few tickets left for what should be a brilliant eye-opening deep dive into one of Italy’s... Actually, one of the world’s greatest red wines.

We’ve gathered together a few benchmarks like:
Fuligni
Conti Costanti
San Filippo,
Talenti
Salvioni
Baricci... and as many others as we can cram into the mix.

But that’s not all - no steak knives BUT prior to the Brunello bracket we’ll do a little brack of our favourite Rosso di Montalcino from the 2022 vintage, again a stellar year in Montalcino.

This is a masterclass but we will have a little plate of food to help placate the tannins. Seats are limited so please be quick to grab yours.

Saturday November 16th 1pm - 3pm
Tickets - $230.00

An Evening with COLLETTE DINNIGAN. Here’s something a bit different for us! The Launch of Collette’s new book - Bellissima

Obviously, Collette is most well known for being one Australia’s greatest ever fashion designers, but perhaps less well known is her lifelong passion for food, wine, interiors and...Italy. As the PR folk describe it:

In a very rare departure from hosting events solely devoted to wine, Prince Wine Store is delighted to play host to Collette Dinnigan for the Melbourne launch of her new book: Bellissima- An Australia Italian Affair.

Collette not only takes us into her own private worlds but also those of her friends such as Mimi Thorisson in Turin, Neil Perry in Sydney, and Louise Olsen and Luke Sciberras in country NSW, where they share their recipes and art.

This is a one-off opportunity to hear first-hand from Collette about the passions that drove her to produce Bellissima alongside PWS-chosen Italian wines and a little food from the Bellota kitchen. It’s a standup affair co-hosted by Imogen Banks, film producer and long-time friend of Collette.

Tickets are limited so please be quick if you wish to secure your place. The ticket price includes a copy of Bellissima (RRP $75) and Collette has hand made 70 candles for attendees only.

EPIC NIGHT - Thank you to everyone who attended last night’s incredible Guigal dinner. The wines once again proved their world class status and the La Las are without question (especially these 2020s) some of the finest bottlings that France has to offer. Benchmarks for any serious Shiraz/Syrah lover, with all the intricacy and terroir focus that you would expect from the very top Burgundies. If you missed it, start making plans for next year.

Magnificently conceived food matches from and the team
Wonderful insight and storytelling from the one and only 🍷🇫🇷🙌
