Have you been to Sicily? The wines are to die for! . Yesterday I fell in love with this Catarratto from @adicamporeale . This is one of the oldest native grape varieties of #Sicily. You’ll find the variety mostly on the western region of the island, and is one of the main Sicilian white grape varieties to be planted. . If you want a white #wine that is fresh, crisp and crunchy nectarine in flavour, this is your wine! . #postbydrew

Two of my favourite things, #Champagne and sunsets. . 📸 by @reidaspraias #postbydrew #wine

Have you ever drunk #wine straight from the bottle? . Last night I rediscovered my @guzzlebuddy that I had at the back of my glass cabinet. Call me lazy, but when I was barbecuing prawns in my backyard it just felt right! Would you use one of these? . And the wine: the @vinomofo Mimi Flamingo Yarra Valley Chardonnay went down like a treat with the succulently charred prawns. . #postbydrew #winewankers

Do you avoid drinking red wine at summer time? I first tasted this wine at room temperature during Sydney’s summer and it was all out of kilter. The acids were really pronounced and the wine tasted thin and unbalanced. After putting it in the fridge for half an hour I tasted it again and wow, what a completely different wine, everything was pulled back into shape. It was so delicious with this lamb I had to tell you all about it. I’ve always been a big fan of McLaren Vale Cabernet Savignon and this 2015 @curtisfamilyvineyards is an excellent example. #PostByDrew #Wine #WineWankers #McLarenVale #CabernetSauvignon #curtisfamilyvineyards

Have you tried red #wine from Hawke’s Bay in New Zealand before? Many experts say this is the only region in New Zealand that can produce decent full bodied reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, #Syrah or #Merlot, and that’s because it’s hot enough for the grape varieties to ripen. What makes this region so special; the gravelly soil called Gimblett Gravels. It’s low infertility means the vines concentrate on growing fruit rather than leaves and the rocks absorb the sun’s heat which further assists the ripening. This is an excellent value example of a Hawkes Bay Merlot from @giesenwines, give it a go. #PostByDrew #WineWankers #openaircinemas And if you find yourself in Sydney, check out the new @sydneyopenaircinemas at Sydney University where the food is crazy delicious thanks to @salt_meats_cheese
