Robert Oatley Pinot Grigio 2008 +159806 $17.95

Rated 90


"A mouth-watering, terrifically refreshing Pinot Grigio with lively notes of lime, green apple and lemon zest. Medium-bodied with a clean finish that leaves you wanting a top up. Perfect as an aperitif on the deck or dock, or pair it with a variety of dishes including grilled veggies and seafood. Yum! Food matches: seafood, especially salmon, white meats, roast chicken."

Natalie MacLean, May 2010


Rated 88

"Light and zippy, with juicy pear, tangerine and floral aromas and flavors that remain lively and appealing through the delicate finish. Drink now. 4,000 cases made." –HS

J. Lohr 'Arroyo Vista' Chardonnay 2007 +171272 $29.95



"There are aromas galore here with spicy toasty oak, tropical fruit and whiffs of hazelnut predominant. The complex flavours include lashings of spiced apple compote, poached pear and a salad bowl of ripe tropical fruit. Mid weight and chockfull of texture, the lingering and memorable finish is well balanced and delicious. This is outstanding with the price-quality ratio skewed well in your favour. (Vic Harradine)."

Dominio del Plata Crios Malbec 2008 +162529 $13.95

Rated 90


"The 2008 Malbec spent 8 months in first use French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up an alluring bouquet of Asian spices, cassis, cedar, incense, and black cherry. Medium-bodied, savory, and elegant, this spicy Malbec will also provide pleasure over the next 4 years."

Dominio del Plata Crios Syrah Bonarda 2008 +657619 $12.95

Rated 87


"Bright ruby-red. Ripe aromas of smoke and licorice. Offers good texture but comes off as a bit dry and rustic, with flavors of currant, chocolate and smoke and serious, slightly drying tannins."

Stephen Tanzer International Wine Cellar, Jan- Feb 2010
