Simply Wines

Simply Wines Melbourne & Australia's Premier Best Online Wine Store & Official Distributor-Grassl Glass. Not forgetting Tasmania with the superb Pinot Noir and Riesling.

Established in 2009, SIMPLY WINES has been searching the world over for hard to find wines. Being Victorian, we do have a soft spot for regions like the Yarra Valley, Beechworth, Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong. We still love classic South Australian Shiraz from the Clare Valley, Barossa, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra, and who can pass up some of the most prestigious wines in Australia f

rom Margaret River in Western Australia. Let's also mention the Hunter Valley and Canberra wine regions. Yes, it's obvious SIMPLY WINES loves fine wine. We love nothing better than sitting with friends, glass in hand, sharing the experience of a newly opened bottle and the memories of the time and place. Service is our mark and we pride ourselves on it, our customers are important to us. SIMPLY WINES is the exclusive importer of Grassl Glass to Australia, a range of fine mouth blown glassware designed in Switzerland. We stock a small range of high-quality boutique wine, usually where quantities are too small for the big outlets.

Vineyard maintenance and protection in Bonnieux!
While I was out riding/sweating out some Rosé toxins I stumbled across this vineyard.
There was a winemaker in his tractor spaying a light mist between the vines.
From my limited knowledge on sprays, he was likely applying a fungicide protectant to shield the vines from rain triggered diseases.
Fairly timely, because today in Bonnieux there was an explosive weather event….
a thunderstorm with hail the size of corks!
If there are any winemakers out there who have input I’d be glad to hear your opinion on what was being sprayed.

An Epic Evening at JU Maison de Cuisine, tucked into the hills of the Luberon in the ancient stone village of Bonnieux.
From the moment we stepped through the door of this intimate, one Michelin star gem, time slowed.
We decided to take the 6 course degustation, which really translates to about 12, when you count the in between surprises.
Every dish was a masterclass in taste and presentation, truly wonderful.
But wait, there’s more…the cheese room… nothing prepared us for the moment Mathias led us down into the 13th-century cellar.
Imagine descending into a vaulted cathedral of stone, carved by hand centuries ago surrounded by local wines of the Luberon and Vaucluse, each bottle telling a story of sun-drenched terroir, meticulous hands, and Provençal passion.
Then came the cheeses….omg the cheeses!
You make your own selection after a lesson on each one, and they are paired with a sticky wine of your choice…we chose Ratafia and aged beauties from nearby farms, creamy, nutty, earthy, and bold!
Chef Julien Allano and his team don’t just serve food and wine, they share an intimate experience into why this corner of France is pure magic!

What do you drink in Provence when it’s 30 degrees?
If you answered box Rosé, I applaud you!
This is part 1 of Le box Rosé roulette!
Justin and I testing out what the locals have to offer.
Needless to say… we’re going to need to try a few more before we pass judgement…
To be continued.

Positano Pizza + Le Serre Nuove 2021 Ornellaia = Peak Civilization 🍷!
Sitting here with that insane cliffside view over the sparkling Amalfi Coast, turquoise water stretching out forever, and I’m convinced this is one of the best and pairings known to humankind.
The pizza?
Thin, blistered crust, sweet San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, and that perfect melt of mozzarella, simple, honest, and straight from Positano heaven.
Paired with the Le Serre Nuove 2021 Ornellaia?
Absolute magic.
This bold Tuscan blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot) brings dark cherry, espresso, and silky tannins that somehow make the tomato pop even harder while cutting through the richness.
It’s like they were made for each other.
And of course, none of this would be half as fun without my hilarious mate Justin cracking jokes the whole time and nearly sending the wine flying off the terrace.
10/10 my friend!
If you ever get the chance… book the table, order this combo, and thank me later!

Positano meet Justin.
Just don’t copy his bank robbing or fashion skills.
Do copy his bottle opening and pouring game though.
The man moves like a sommelier with main character energy!
Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2021 Barbaresco.
When the view is this epic, even Salomon Speedmax trail runners can’t ruin the moment!

All roads lead to Burgundy...
And sometimes the perfect shot is a 2010 Hudelot-Noëllat Les Suchots straight through the net.
Nothing but net. Nothing but pure Vosne-Romanee magic.
Old-vine elegance, silky tannins, vibrant acidity and that signature 2010 precision!
This bottle is still playing at an All-Star level in 2026.
Swish!

How epic is white Burgundy?
Is it more stratospheric than red Burgundy?
Queue the music this is going to be good!
Just ask my good mate Justin.
It’s one of the best wines he’s ever had the pleasure of drinking… and trust me, the man has enjoyed a few legendary bottles 😉.
Enter Bonneau du Martray 2006 Corton Charlemagne.
From a generally weaker vintage, this white Burgundy still blew our minds.
Look at that colour, for a now 20 years old, that vibrant, youthful golden hue is nothing short of incredible.
Bonneau du Martray is one of the true icons of Burgundy. They’re the largest single owner in the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru.
So do yourself a favor and get your mate Justin over with a bottle of !
