My friend Jeanene from Winederlust has prepared a seasonal series of podcasts.
Jeanene has interviewed 12 diverse experts from the wine industry and the travel industry for suggestions of food and wine pairings on Christmas Day, gifts for wine loving friends and family and wine travel ideas for where to spend your holidays both in Australia and overseas.
‘Snack-size’ episodes will drop daily over 12 days from 1 December 2021.
Guests include a French sommelier, a wine judge, a travel writer and podcast host, wine educators and wine communicators, including my good self. My episode will be on sat Dec 4th. I can’t wait to hear myself.
How to win a Bottle of Grange
I partner with a an online wine retailer for a small commission on sales that come via links in this newsletter.
They are running a 12 days of Christmas promotion giving away a Bottle of grange each day to one randomly selected customer who has purchased a dozen or more.
What dozen will you buy?
We have had a different sort of year so perhaps we can cap it of by drinking a few different wines.
Well I have two suggestions, well six actually, as both of these offers are available as mixed or as 2x6 whites or 2x6 reds. All contain some excellent alternative varieties. And because it is Christmas there is a bonus bottle as well as a ticket in the Grange draw.
New Wave Mixed Dozen with Bonus Bottle
This offer has a Piquepoul and a quirky blend of Shiraz, Sangiovese and Montepulciano.
Euro-style Christmas Mixed Dozen with Bonus Bottle
This one includes a Grenache Blanc and Sagrantino.
You don’t need to buy these ones to go in the draw. There are many other offers available. Just scroll around the website. All at great prices.
Taste and Talk Sessions.
The next Taste and Talk will be held on Dec 9th.
