WINE OF THE WEEK: 2022 Castle Rock Estate Pinot Noir.

This is a favourite of mine, competing easily with some of the best in Australia. There's some more info here https://thelanecellars.com/blogs/news/castle-rock-estate-pinot-noir

This is a wine that will impress with its silky texture and won-
derful balance rolling through the mid-palate. This is a Pinot that is still one of the country's best kept secrets and, with ever increasing prices, offers great value. DC

What are we drinking?

Somos Mencia (“Men-thee-ah”). This is a lovely example, with lifted, fragrant aromas of plum, cherry and anise. It's mid-weight and perfect for Spring's cool evenings. Lovely.

Single vineyard & handpicked. We did a heap of small wild ferments, some with tons of whole-bunches, some without. Some got pressed early, and others we left on skins for a bit longer, and one fully carbonic 100% wholebunch portion. Each got pressed separately and into 2-4th fill Burgundian Fren...

Before & After!

Be quick, our new Advent Beer packs will sell out fast.

We're not one of those big commercial online stores that pack thousands of Advent packs in some hidden warehouse.

We're a small team, that carefully selects very cool indie beers for our packs. There's not many available, so order soon or you'll be sad.

Don't be sad.

NEW Reckless Brewing Shake & Bake

It’s SHAKE and BAKE time at Reckless Brewing Co with their latest two releases. Both inspired by the infamous Ballad of Ricky Bobby and co-collaborated on with the iconic Sydney beer bar Bitter Phew.

Enjoy these offerings individually or together in a tasty Black & Tan.

Shake - American Lite Lager (first pour)
“There’s been some ace ballads over the years. Waltzing Matilda. November Rain. Always (ok, maybe not). But none top The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, to which this American lager is a loving tribute. Dear lord baby Jesus don't listen to losers like your teacher: this is a beer for WINNERS. After all, if you ain't first, you're last. Shake and bake baby!”

Bake - American Brown (second pour)
“Wrap your mouth around this big hairy American winning machine, Cal Naughton Jr’s Bake to Ricky Bobby’s Shake. Full of rich malt licks and ribbons of choco-caramel wrapped around a finely tuned engine of citrussy hops, it’s like Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt saying, “I want to be formal, but I’m here to party too.” Abracadabra, homes.”

We have a few exciting new wines arrive recently. These included the Sydney Royal Wine Show Grenache Trophy winner from Mudgee's Huntington Estate

Samantha May Riesling 2024
Sam’s been at it again, this time with an Orange Region, vibrant, textured and l***y Riesling. Come & see why she is making wine waves all around the region.

Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Our most requested non-local Savvy B is back in shop. And this 2024 vintage is tasting better than ever. “With flavours of Tahitian lime, florals and a touch of nettle. Fresh, bright and expressive.”

Huntington Estate ‘Special Reserve’ Grenache 2023
* Trophy Best Grenache, Sydney Royal Wine Show *
Who doesn’t love a Trophy winning Mudgee Red? And we LOVE what Huntington Estate do with their delectable Mudgee region Reds. Take their ‘Special Reserve’ Grenache 2023 for example “Plum, blackcurrant, dry herbaceous characters. Lovely body and a firm structure, juicy acids balance out the chewy but fine grained tannins and lead into a lingering finish.”
