Righti-o then, let’s talk about some wine.

Say a big ‘how-do’ to April’s , The Gathering Victorian multi region Shiraz 2024. Bloody hell, this wine packs a heap for the price I tells ya.

Dark fruit abounds on the nose with delicious prickly plum and blackberry. But there is more; umami tones of black olives and Hoi Sin sauce also whack the senses. The palate ignites with more dark fruit and umami tones again, with crunchy yet tempered acid and tannins, and a hint of roasted brown spices at the back. This is so good kiddos!!!!!!!!

Bloody hell indeed and yours for just $25!!!!!!

Tales from Brunswick – The Fart

So, this bloke walks in today. I greet him with my usual, “G’day”. He replies with a congenial, “Hello”. So-far-so-good. After the usual 7-10 seconds I ask if he would like a hand but he’s all good with another congenial, “All good thanks mate.” 2-2 in the So-far-so-good stakes.

So then, said customer is now in the red room, just to my right where I am standing at the POS, when all the sudden he rips what I would call a very audible fart. Very audible. My look is, what you may call, SHOCK. Five seconds-or-so passes and he turns to look at me, still in shock of course, unable to comprehend still what just happened, and he says, “What. You have a problem?”. My brain has not still at this point been able to conjure a response, said customer – the farter – turns on his heels and casually walks out of the store. OK then.

It was at this point I opened a bottle of wine and poured myself a LARGE glass and kept my distance from the red room where the fart occurred.

You stay classy Brunswick.

It certainly seems that summer will be hanging around for some time yet. With that in mind, you need this, the WINE BAR | WINE STORES Marchs . The Stadt Krems 2023 Grüner Veltliner Lössterrassen, 🇦🇹. Oh, what a indeed.

Blessed with generous aromatics of melon, green apple, and citrus - think mandarin. The wine opens in the glass with refreshing minerality and an almost briny-sea-spray feel about it. Mouth watering crunchy acid flows through the palate with tart quince and pear all cleaned up with some minerally zing-bam-boom.

Bloody lovely for days like today and yours for $29.

Side note, the Wine Store will not be open for tomorrow’s Labor Day Public Holiday. Ol’ is having a day off.

Wakey-wakey, rise and shine kiddos.

That’s right, it’s ‘pinch and a punch for the first of the month’ time, and as you rub the sleep out of your eyes for what was (spew) and you p*ek out the window, you will see a beautiful day out there today. It’s sleepy heads!!!!!!!!

What better way to start than this glorious little Austrian sip. The Domäne Wachau Federspiel Grüner Veltliner 2023 is the best wine for you to ease back into a life of normality. Bright and crisp on the nose with refreshing minerality of quartz and limestone and effortless white pepper and lemongrass. The palate invariably follows the nose with more mouthwatering minerality, white spice and puckery acid.

A true delight and yours for $34.

The most perfect wine for a day so sweaty that it will make you think back to what a massive waste of time it was in applying that make-up this morning!!!

The Table Wines ‘Grape Sweat’ Riverland Macabeo 2024 is super happy fun A-O-K LOL juice in a bottle that’s all about fresh grapefruitie and lemonie and briney crunchy wine sweat that will make you feel proud to be thirsty on this sweat-induced-sh*t-show out there right now.

Here for a good time, not a long-time kiddos and yours for just $29

Now kiddos, before you keep death-scrolling because this wine is a Savvy B; stop!!!! This is not a bottle of cat’s p*e that you may imagine it is. No, this something different. And it’s bloody .

WowWee indeed. Say a big g’day to Februarys everyone, the Vino Vagabond Strathbogie Ranges Sauvignon Blanc 2023. As STAR TREKKEN famously sang, “It’s Savvy B, Jim, but not as we know it.”

Yep, this one, as I have already mentioned, is different. Subtle tropical notes waft up the nose in the fashion of guava and paw paw 🐾 with a hint of lemongrass the longer in the glass. As with the nose, the palate has an instant hit of more guava and paw paw 🐾, but not sweet, with more spice of lemongrass, white pepper grip and ginger all held in check with balanced acid and yours for just a bangin’ $20!!!!

That’s right kiddos, the WINE STORE | WINE BAR will not be opening for the public holiday tomorrow.

Ol’ mate usually opens on the public holidays as he knows that it is always a great time to imbibe on a day off, but since it is going to be hotter than Satan’s un**es drawer and windy as FARK, the decision not to open is a real no-brainer.

But do not worry, Timothy is in the store until 8ish so you can stock up and be ready for tomorrows Armageddon xx

We got there kiddos. Another year done and destined for the scrap book. And with the end of 2024, like all years before it, it’s time to think of the future and drink some champagne, and that champagne is the Serge Mathieu Brut Tradition Champagne NV.

A Blanc de Noir, this one being 100% Pinot Noir, that over delivers in every way. Lovely supple red fruit aromatics on the nose with a hint of baked bread and marzipan, the wine washes through the palate with a delicate mousse of fine bubbles. Just delightful and yours for $86.

As they always say, “Champagne for my real friends and pain for my sham friends”. Have a great night tonight kiddos and stay safe before we will see you again on Saturday, January 4th, after a few days off for .

To close out #2024 a year, to say the least, that has been fraught with both highs and lows, ol’ will be pouring the best wines that have been featured on the wall for this year.

Hopefully #2025 will play out to a different tune than 2024 🤞

Lets share the Love #OurWineCommunity
Lets share the Love #OurWineCommunity

With every new day we are stepping closer and closer to a shutdown of society that no one could ever have imagined. We will be trading as long as we will be allowed to here at the WINE STORE | WINE BAR (sans wine bar) and would love our great locals to start sharing their wine stories with us here. When you get home and have opened your ace wine or beer or gin or armagnac, shoot a 30 odd second review video on your smart phone and then send it to us on [email protected] and we’ll post it on our page. Right now more than ever we need social cohesion but as it stands we cannot get together, share a bottle or 2 and laugh at Trump’s latest gaffe or Collingwood getting smashed. So lets make do and use the socials and our wine to get through this. So with that, I would like everyone to meet Katie. Katie looooovvvves Chardy!!!! Stay safe good people
