We've got five Rhone wines on taste here and all the major wine-growing regions of France are covered. Was a great crowd having a ball last year and I'm sure it will be fun -- and tasty -- again, tonight and two sessions tomorrow!

When you see Petit Chablis, don’t think “Little Chablis”, think Portlandian Chablis ... timely article from Wine Enthusiast as I enthusiastically smashed a bottle of 2022 Raoul Gautherin Petit Chablis La Terre de Mon Pere.

Some fascinating insights into our favourite South African wine producer. Also excellent value for banter during cricket and rugby seasons!

We arrived at Natte Valleij* in the pouring rain. The lavish tumbles of flowers growing unfettered around the beautiful, historic Cape Dutch farmhouse were dripping even faster than the rain was coming down. Dogs, an indeterminate pack of sizes, speeds and colours, undeterred by the weather, poured....

Well, this has been a long time coming! Our next shipment has finally left France, made three more stops in Europe and is now chugging down the west coast of Africa, heading for Reunion and eventually Melbourne in mid-August. It isn't going near any Houthis and hopefully no Somalian pirates, but already it's been the slowest journey yet in our 17 years of importing. Nineteen pickups from France and two from Germany, then an inexplicable delay in storage in France before we finally managed to get a berth on this ship, then the 40-foot re**er to pack and hoist it on board. We're sure it's going to cost a fortune in transport and storage, even though the delays weren't of our doing. Shipping companies have a way of holding importers to ransom! "Want your container? Pay the bill." This one has already tied up half a million dollars for more than six months. The previous shipment was missing bottles and magnums of Champagne, and zero responsibility was taken, so unloading day will bring with it some trepidation as well as excitement. Anyway, this baby is packed with some serious goodies from Burgundy, Champagne, Chablis, the Jura, Loire and the Languedoc, plus two vintages of Willi Schaefer Mosel riesling and our first two allocations from the Rheinhessen legend Saalwachter. We'll have a fresh portfolio out shortly to detail all the impending new arrivals and start offering the rarities as the boat comes into view! Bring on August!
