Could 2019 be the vintage to make lots of new converts to Germany's delicious dry Rieslings? There are so many reasons to give them a try. They have body, freshness and personality in spades for a start, and are great with food bit.ly/3jtaAx9

So glad Geoff and other Adelaide Hills growers are safe, despite this harrowing experience. Thoughts go out to others fighting, fleeing or recovering from fires. Read Geoff's dramatic account - and consider lending support here: adelaidehillswine.com.au/fir…

Fantastic fun had by all with @JancisRobinson out here. Many great wines tasted & stories told (this marvellous book naturally weaving so many of them together). And yes, the wines looked particularly lovely because that's the whole point of these: cellarhand.com.au/glassware/…
Sad to be leaving after a great week in Australia (NSW, SA & VIC). Met so many great talents and enthusiasts in the wine and food world. Thank you. (Atlases are supposed to be arriving next week! Glassware def already available via distributors @CellarHand )
