I discovered a new Australian gin this week while dining at @mistelledoublebay. Heralding from Tasmania, Poltergeist Unfiltered Gin from @sheneestate is full flavoured and uses local native botanicals. The distillery and farmhouse are said to be haunted, hence the name. Let's hope any paranormal activity arent transferred during export! Post by Drew #winewankers #gin #ginlovers #poltergeistgin

At the St Leonards winery and vineyard in #Rutherglen enjoying some fun #bubbles backed up by a bit of #pinotgris and topped off by the Wahgunyah #shiraz. Good times!

Spicy sweet glazed barbecued pork, such a delicious Thai dish which deserves a fruit driven fuller bodied white wine. And this New Zealand Pinot Gris from Vavasour's Clifford Bay did its job perfectly. Flavours of nashi pear and sweet apple. Post by Drew. #winewankers #pinotgris #wine #vin #winelover

I love it when I get to drink #wine in old dungeon-like cellars. At the castle that is All Saints Estate in #Rutherglen, #Victoria. #tastes2016 #tasteofrutherglen #wine #vino #vin #food #fun #travel #winelover #wineoclock #redwine #whitewine #winewankers #sponsored #wwpromo #wwcampagne #wwcampaign #wwontour #wwrutherglentrip #wwallsaints #allsaintsestate #postbyconrad

A delicious #TeKairanga Pinot Noir from #Martinborough in New Zealand. It was such a great combo with this juniper and thyme roasted chicken from Sydney gin bar, @thepowderkeg. Fab small bar in Kings Cross that is booming despite the lock out laws. Check 'em out. Post by Drew #winewankers #wine #kingscross @grantcollinsdrinks #winelover

Had a delicious lunch today at the Terrace #Restaurant in the @allsaintsestate winery in #Rutherglen; all washed down with their easy drinking #riesling and the deliciously complex Family Cellar #marsanne.

A really good value #grigio by @debortoliwines from the cool climate #KingValley of #Victoria. Dry but not watery or thin like some grigios and there's enough fruit character to keep it interesting.

More of the sensational #Oregon #pinot from the #willamettevalley I got to sample at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival #MFWF. I'm jealous of the lucky people who will be having all these #wine matched with food this evening. Such an awesome experience considering we don't often get such a flight of these wines in Aus.

A 10 year old tawny port from @quintadovallado with a pecan tart, you can imagine how happy I was! Beautiful sweet coffee walnut flavours flying out of the glass. A delicious dessert from the crew at @mistelledoublebay. Post by Drew #winewankers #winelover #vin #wine

Um, yum!! We’ve had a crazy kid-activity-filled week, so it’s been about grocery store wine. But I’ve found one that I really like, Josh Cellars Legacy Red. On the Chard side, it’s all about Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay. Happy Weekend!

  Another exciting week on the wine front with a mixture of whites, reds and sparklings hitting the spot…
  From Petersons I really enjoyed their Old Block Shiraz, Sauvigon Blanc and Sparkling Moscato. Also had a Yarrawa Estate Chardonnay which was very nice
  I put a Gooree Park Shiraz in the decanter last night and will deal that tonight…

No newbies for me this week but a couple of old favourites: Taku sauvignon blanc and Upside Down sauvignon blanc.

[…] The Wine Wankers…..mmmm…wine….Bucket list item is to go to Australia and drink Australian wine. I’m keeping a list based on their posts. What’s your favorite wine you’ve had this week? I’m obsessed with Legacy red from Josh Cellars right now. It’s a grocery store, nothing special happening kind of wine, but hey, that’s my life right now. […]

My favourite was my last bottle of 1999 Elderton Command. Wow! So young, great balance, smooth, long finish and tannins! The bad is that it is my last bottle!!!

Legendary Badge Red Blend from Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma County, California. Our last bottle of 2012 and very sad to see it end.

I’m in Italy on a budget for three months: Campo di Sassa Bibbona 2014 – a sophisticatedly rounded red bought in euros, thinking dollars; Fossolupaio Rosso di Montepulciana 2013 – a civilised tipple; and Santa Cristina, Toscana, a good quaffing red blend from Cortona in Tuscany.
