We have curated an exclusive collection of delicious Australasian wines avaliable at fantastic prices with limited stock numbers.

Enjoy these in Riedel glassware, with 2 Cabernet/Merlot glasses included.

Collection includes:

1 x Church Road Tom Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2021

The 2021 Tom Chardonnay is a complex wine of great density. Aromas of fragrant citrus and riper stone fruit notes are overlaid with complexities of roasted hazelnut, warm pastry, with a wisp of struck flint smokiness. The palate is full bodied, yet finely structured, carried by a seam of fresh acidity and a slate like mineral edge that combine to give a sense of reigned in power delivered with focus and drive. With careful cellaring we expect this wine to continue to mature gracefully for 6 years or more from vintage date. With age, the wine will develop more complex, savoury nuttiness and will gain breadth and richness on the palate.

1 x St Hugo Barossa Shiraz 2018 (Australia)

AWARDED 95/100 POINTS: Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion, 2022

AWARDED 95/100 POINTS: Ray Jordan, The West Australian

AWARDED 92/100 POINTS & SILVER MEDAL: National Wine Show of Australia

"Matured 18 months in (55% new) 90/10% French/American oak barrels. An impressive vintage for St Hugo, leading out with a full, vibrant purple hue. A deep, compact yet bright core of crunchy blackberries, black cherries and satsuma plum hails a great vintage in the Barossa. High-cocoa dark chocolate French oak has been strategically and expertly deployed for long-term endurance. Impressive promise" Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion, 2022

"Comes from a number of growers throughout the region. There is a real brightness and life in here. It's a more elegant and stylish expression of shiraz than some in the Barossa with a slight ferruginous and linear structure. The south gives generosity and the north gives tannins and blackness. This was a very good year for the Barossa. It's 50% new French and it gets 18 months overall. There's a nice chalky tannin character threading through the mix of predominantly dark fruit with a lift of red fruit character. It has structure and power, and this is a wine that would age beautifully at between 8 to 12 years of age" Ray Jordan, The West Australian

A superb example of classic Barossa Shiraz. Bold, full-flavoured and complex, it offers great depth and silky tannins. Magnificent drinking now but will reward medium-term cellaring.

Alc: 14.5% - Seal: Screw cap

1 x Orlando Steingarten Eden Valley Riesling 2019 (Australia)

AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: James Suckling, 2020

Food Pairing: Mussels steamed in white wine, parsley, garlic and chilli.

Alc: 11.5% - Seal: Screw cap

1 x Church Road 1 Hawke's Bay Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Rich, dark berry fruit and earthy complexity with lifted notes of sandalwood, cedar, violets, florals thyme and a hint of vanilla. A dense, weighty wine kept in check by firm tannin and gentle acidity with dives exceptional length across the palate.

Food Pairing: Well matched to game and red meats, cured meats and other savoury dishes with robust flavours. Particularly well suited to meats or robust vegetables that have been grilled.

Alc: 13% - Seal: Cork

1 x Church Road Grand Reserve Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2020

AWARDED BEST IN SHOW & 97/100 POINTS: Decanter World Wine Awards 2022

AWARDED 94/100 POINTS: Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, 2022

AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: International Wine Challenge 2022

"Complex, bold, varietal, smoky and toasty spices bouquet. An attention seeking aroma package leads to a full-bodied expression on the palate with flavours of roasted stone fruits and barrel spices, fine wood tannins and contrasting acid line. Peach and baked apple, grapefruit and quince, a touch of honey and tropical fruit. A delicious, fresh and textured wine ticking all the boxes of flavour and texture, power and panache" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, 2022

Church Road Grand Reserve Chardonnay is a blend of wines from their best vineyards in the Tuki Tuki river valley, grown and crafted to deliver a full bodied, yet refined wine. This cooler winegrowing district delivers beautifully fragrant Chardonnay with weight, minerality and fresh natural acidity.

Alc: 13.5% - Seal: Screw cap

1 x Church Road Grand Reserve Hawke's Bay Pinot Noir 2019

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Drinks Business Global Pinot Noir Masters 2022

Beautifully fragrant, the wine is built around a core of black cherry and berry fruit, overlaid with beautiful floral and spice notes. The oak is subtle, supporting the wine without dominating the fruit and there is an underlying mineral element. On the palate the wine is medium weight and supple with incredible textural length, combining elegance and finnesse with undeniable presence.

Alc: 14% - Seal: Screw cap

Anything from Skip I will read ASAP.
Format: Hardcover
I so look forward to reading this. Skip Atwater is a pioneer in the exploration of consciousness. I had the pleasure of meeting him for an interview while making my film Third Eye Spies and his knowledge of remote viewing and the Army history of the subject was some of the most compelling testimony I heard. I am excited to get my copy of this new book.

Glorious book on Man's (unfortunate) wars with himself
Format: Hardcover
If you have any interest in the subject matter, buy this book, it is fantastic. Many beautiful paintings and maps, some on full pages. One comment. In various parts of this book it has something called "Directory," which is just paragraphs on events that the writer did not see deserving a full page in the book. On page 42 we have "Directory: Before 1000 CE," and included is a paragraph on "Teutoburg Forest, Roman-Germanic Wars, 9 CE" The paragraph ends with: "Although there were subsequent expeditions to Germany, the Roman frontier became fixed at the Rhine (River)." Surely, this is one of the greatest battles and results in European history and should have had a full two pages in this book instead of just a short paragraph. See the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, 9 CE. Another short fall of this book is no mention of Boudica, who in AD 60 0r 61, was defeated by the Romans (commander- Suetonius Paullinus), who went on to "rule" England and Wales to about AD 410. This is my review of Graham Webster's book "Boudica: The British revolt against Rome in AD 60: Lucid, well written on Boudica, queen of the East Anglian kingdom of the Iceni tribe, and much more. Sixteen pages of black and white photographs. Contents (all of these Chapter headings have sub-headings)1. Sources 2. The Opposing Forces and the State of Britain 54 B.C. 3. Britain between the Invasions 54 B.C.-A.D. 43 4. The Conquest of A.D. 43 5. The Storm Breaks A.D. 60 6. The Evidence from the Ground 7. The Trail of Destruction Epilogue References Bibliography Glossary of Latin Terms and Words Index 24 Plates 8 Maps and Diagrams The Epilogue, a timeless piece of writing, should be read by everyone, young and old. The last sentence of the book in the Epilogue reads: "They may help us to see more clearly what is happening in the world today, and even help us prevent some of the worst excesses of human folly and greed for power, which brings incalculable misery and suffering to the innocent majority." Re: Boudica and the final battle with Suetonius Paullinus and the approximately 12,000 men under his command and Boudica's warriors, which could have been as great as 100,000, page 99, (but could be less); we apply "O2S4 MEC:" Objective (Simplicity); Offensive, Sprit of; Superiority at Point of Contact (Economy of Force); Surprise (Security); Security (Surprise); Simplicity (Objective); Movement (Mobility); Economy of Force (Superiority at Point of Contact); Cooperation (Unity of Command) On pages 98-99 in the book we have Fig. 5-, (if this is indeed the place of the final battle took place) "The battle between Boudica and Paullinus in its possible Mancetter context," it is clear that Paullinus had chosen the place of the battle and his position to force Boudica's warriors to a frontal attack and thereby creating "Superiority at Point of Contact." And this is probably what happened, as Boudica's warriors attacked and were funneled into the Roman Legion "buzz saw" due to their "simple" frontal attack. From Fig. 5 again, it is clear that there was forest behind Paullinus and his men and the River Anker in front of them. I do not know if it would have possible to attack Paullinus from the rear by going through the forest. However, again from Fig. 5, it is apparent that Boudica's warriors probably could have attacked Paullinus from the right and left flanks (even though the Roman cavalry was on both flanks), creating a three pronged attack, negating some of the Roman's "Superiority at Point of Contact." It is clear that Boudica lost "Cooperation (Unity of Command)," or never had it in the first place, leading to the rout by Paullinus' much smaller force over a much larger force and the fate of Britain for about the next 400 years. The Roman brutality that caused this uprising and Boudica's, and her warriors response, are part of history. Paullius' (whatever you think of him), choice of the battlefield was tactically brilliant, and no one, including Boudica, could match it on the field of battle that day.

Poor formatting for Kindle, GREAT as a hardback
Format: Kindle
So far I am loving this book, and hating its formatting for the Kindle. Probably because of all the maps and illustrations, it is hard to enjoy on my Kindle, and I have to awkwardly change the size of the page 3-4 times on every page while I try to read it. My guess is I would really love it as a physical book. LATER: As noted I was very disappointed trying to read this on a small Kindle, but the book looked so promising that I repurchased it in hardback. WOW what a difference. Wonderful illustrations, maps, the works. Given the number of important battles chosen, it would not be possible to go into great detail on any single one, but most people are not going to remember all those details anyway, and this book gives you what you really need, and the level of detail you are likely to remember and to help you appreciate the importance of the event. Strongly recommended in hardback.
