NOVEMBER SPECIALS: PICK OF 2011 ADELAIDE WINE SHOW
Dear Wine Lover,
Here it is again... Another solid gold selection of medal winners from the judges at the recent Adelaide Wine Show.
As always, we have put together a great range of varieties and styles and this time have sourced four trophy winners including ‘Best Dry White Blend in Show ’ (Vasse Felix 2011 Classic Dry White) and ‘Best Other Varietal White Wine’ which went to a wine which has not yet been released to the general trade (Yellowtail Reserve Pinot Grigio 2010). There is also an excellent Victorian Riesling which is also not otherwise available locally, a couple of excellent reds from two very different Coonawarra wineries and another success story for the huge Treasury Wines stable and their highly awarded Wolf Blass label. All the pre orders have now been despatched, so if you have placed an order and not yet received it, please give me a call as soon as possible.
