Happy 4th birthday to us – our story!

If you were a rock star and money was no object, what Australian wines would you drink like a fish? Screw the hangover! . If ever there was a dream job, Andrew Roper from @winestothestars has got it. He gets to hang out with the world's biggest recording artists while drinking the rarest and most expensive wines ever produced. Andrew is the man that kits out the green rooms with the kinda wines that exist in your nirvana (bad pun, sorry!). To get the inside dirt on what wines the world’s biggest celebrities drink, read the article we’ve just published (go to the link in our bio or check out winewankers.com) But be warned, you’re gonna get very jealous! . Post by Drew #winewankers Pic by @yarrayerring #wine This is history - today I tasted for the very first time the #wine that coined the term, #SuperTuscan. It’s a wine that uses a traditioanl Italian grape variety like #Sangiovese, and then screws around with it so that it can no longer be classified in the DOC category. But by doing so, they create this super cool wine of imense interest. . #Tignanello was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first red wine to be blended with non-traditional varieties (like Cabernet) and one of the first Chianti reds not to use white grapes. Tignanello from Antinori is made from a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is aged in oak for about 12 months and for a further 12 months in the bottle. . It’s a dream to drink! It’ll also cost you about $100 bucks! . Post by Drew #winewankers #wineporn. Wine by @thewineryhotel in Stockholm. #winelover It may only be the second vintage off young vines by this new kid on the Heathcote block but this wine is superb! The 2015 Humis Vineyard Shiraz packs a lot of goodies in its medium body from its plum pudding dusted in floral spices and herbs to its savory earthy and even leathery finish. A great $25 bottle and one to watch! #postbyconrad #winewankers Guessing competition - where in the #wine world is this? Answer: Dalmatia, Croatia 🇭🇷 Pic credit: Monticello Post by Drew Woops! 😬 We took the Travino no-spill wine glass out for a test drive. Just don't turn it upside down! 😳 . To be honest, turning your wine upside down is extreme and if used normally the wine shouldn't spill! That being said, would you drink #wine wine out of a plastic sippy cup? Great for picnics or mums doing the 3pm pick up? 🤔 . Post by Drew #winewankers @travinowine What’s your favourite bargain red? . Over the weekend we got a chance to taste the ever reliable @jacobscreekwine Shiraz. Not too shabby! . Post by Drew #winewankers #wine
