What #wine did you enjoy during the week? Here’s The Wine Wankers’ top 12!

It’s been a crazy/busy week for Conrad and I. Crazy busy – as in we’ve been drinking more wine than water! We’ve been matching wine with oysters, wine with burgers, European wines with European food and experimenting wine options with Middle Eastern cuisine. Why do we do this? Because of YOU!!! That’s right, we drink a lot, so you can make a beeline for the best wines at your bottle shop – those that are Wine Wanker approved!! 🙂

Let us know, in the comments section below the wines you’ve enjoyed recently.

European dining!? Nope. It's the European Laneway Festival in Sydney for #marchintomerivale. And this Alsace Riesling is the bomb. Post by Drew #winewankers #vin #winelover @merivale

Never underestimate a classic! The St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon from the near perfect 2012 vintage. Wow. It's all I can say. Dark inky red fruits with intense flavour. And it's so affordable, when compared to other top notch 2012s. Post by Drew. #winewankers #winelover #vin #wine @jacobscreekwine

This #fruit driven and intense @zontesfootstep #Cabernet was the perfect foil for #roast beef and rustic roast veg! #wine #vino #vin #winelover #food #wineoclock #redwine #winewankers #conrad

This @camwellwines Shiraz is so rare, only 300 bottles are produced each year. It's also handmade and all natural, thanks to young winemaker, Brad Cameron. Brad is a lucky guy; he gets to steal the best and most expensive Shiraz grapes each year from his dad, who happens to be one of McLaren Vale's top vineyard owners. Considering these grapes would usually go towards wines that cost $100 or more, this is a steal for $35. This 2015 is still only a baby, but this wine and this winemaker have a real future!

A lot of scrumptious toasty texture, with layers of delicious fruit, in this blended #chardonnay from #BarossaValley and #KangarooIsland off the coast of #SouthAustralia. #wine #vino #vin #food #winelover #whitewine #wineoclock #winewankers #conrad

It may be an unusual variety for the #Heathcote #wine region but this #grenache #rosé by @HumisVineyard is just delicious! Very textual, savory and dry but still with the lovely raspberry fruit characters you get from this grape. Enjoyable stuff! #vino #vin #winelover #wineoclock #redwine #winewankers #conrad

This may be an everyday drinking Pinot Noir from #bourgogne, but often that's all you need to start a good night. Beautifully perfumed matched by a sexy cherry palate. Post by Drew. #winewankers #wine #winelover #vin @vinsdebourgogne

Don't hate me but last weekend I tasted the 2012 @torbreckbarossa #runrig. Let's just say, it's pretty much perfect. Power. Intensity. Depth. Bloody delicious! Post by Drew #winewankers #wine #vin #winelover #torbreck Tasted at @Qantas epiQure

Cracked these #wine open over the weekend! @McWilliamsWines have a real focus on some interesting cool climate wine producing regions of #NSW, using grapes from Orange, Hilltops and Gundagai in these wines. And they all retail at well under $20! Check out the link in our Bio for more info on these wines. #vino #vin #winelover #wineoclock #whitewine #redwine #winewankers #mcwilliamswines #promo #wwpromo #wwcampagne #wwcampaign #wwmcwilliams #conrad

Time for a selfie! This @swingingbridgewine Chardonnay from the New South Wales region of Orange was absolutely sublime. The cool climate really shines through with its perfectly structured acid and fruit balance – very Burgundian! Post by Drew. #winewankers #vin #wine #winelover #orangewineregion @definewine

Some nice wines amongst that selection. I have had a few wines from Orange and really like what they have to offer. I also like Logan’s and Belgravia.
Don’t forget the Sydney Cellar door is on this weekend in Hyde park as part of the NSW wine festival, good chance to try more of NSW’s finest.

Pretty sure I need a wine-tasting trip to Australia. We have some amazing stuff here in Southern California, and we can typically find a good selection of Australian wines in the shops, but it’s time for an in-person sampling! 😉

The labels on the McWilliams bottles are beautiful! I just met a winemaker, Emmanuel of Tour de Campanets, at Provence in the City…she designs her own labels and they are made of a special material that won’t shrivel or dissolve in water… the details are never lost on me!

I like a good cheese and crackers tray with almost any wine you would choose. 😀 A good Cab, a delicious merlot, or a pinot noir, bring me joy and trying to stick to red, but rose and white cross my drinking path. Wonderful instagram photos. I am on wordpress and Linked In. Smiles, Robin
