A classic Rhone blend that smells like grapes grown in limestone rich soil. Saffron on the nose and following on the palate with a full... (more)
       
    Giaconda Aeolia 2006
    Beechworth, Victoria, Australia. Roussanne. 13.8%. Screwcap. Approx $A75. The mischievous, though amusing and wise, Monkuwino tagged me almost a month ago. My task was to pick up the nearest book and quote a passage from page 123. The book I've belatedly chosen is from my local public... (more)

    Beechworth, Victoria, Australia. Chardonnay, Roussane. 13.9% alcohol. Screwcap. Approx $A45 A delicious marriage of two seemingly unsuited individuals.

    Open Source Roussanne Progress Report
    A couple weeks ago a wine sample arrived at my door. This is a fairly common occurrence here but I was intrigued to see it was a single bottle from Crushpad.
