If you’ve never had Brunello before, 2019 was an amazing year, so this will be one to hold onto for a very special occasion. Palate is all silky but bold fruits that'll change your life and have you travelling to Italy ASAP. Decant for perfection.

San Giorgio Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Grown at 400m above sea level over 26 hectares that are surrounded by olive groves. Talk about an Italian vision of perfection. Tastes beautiful, like; cherry skins, deep red fruits and scrub land.

San Giorgio Rosso di Montalcino 2020

Bright and crunchy with cherry pips, cranberry and drops of boysenberry that shine through along with some trademark Sangiovese dusty tannin, and crispy acidity

Carlotta Sangiovese 2023

Time on the Bellarine is always a pleasure. Indented Head packages all the raw earth and maritime vibes we love. You’ll get a helping of savoury earthiness and some smoky oak tangled up in cherries and dripping plum juiciness.

Indented Head Pinot Noir 2024

Some toast and plenty of character, including salinity and crispiness. Looks brilliant and is very generous for the price, with all its balance – acidity, stone fruit flavours, and oak spice flow harmoniously.

Lange Estate Providence Road Chardonnay 2023

Perfect just as it is, with all the lime blossom, some tonic water quinine vibes and an armful of delicate fruits. Great value and a reliable bottle for any school night.

Millon Estate Clares Secret Riesling 2024

Cooling green bay leaf and impressions of sweet plum and black liquorice makes for flowy drinking. Tannins are good and grippy, and they add a nudge of warmth on the end.

Millon Estate The Impressionist Shiraz 2022

Even Keel Pinot Gris 2024

Lunch-style claret with sweeps of tannin and strokes of freshening herbs on a canvas of boysenberry, mulberry and cassis. Oh no, I've been looking at Ab-ex paintings again. Apologies, but it is beautiful.

In Reverie Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2021

Lemon, lime and bitters with a perfect garnish of sweet florals and some textured weight. Love this wine so much. Perfect with frozen dumplings and packet ramen or a night on Little Bourke Street.

Max & Me Woodcarvers VIneyard Riesling 2023

Balanced flavours and a rich expression of Cabernet that flows smooth and with sweet, leathery tannins and some velvet-like dark fruits. Offers both the juicy flow that light-red drinkers love and the spicy depth that bold-red lovers search for.

Leogate Miracle of the Wire Cab Sauv 2021

A sunny day, lunchtime Pinot Noir if there ever was one. Think of a light and deliciously crunchy red with rosy aromatics, orange essence, and some light cherry juice. We're sure you'll be able to find an hour of sunshine this weekend to sip away.

Trapeze Murrindindi Pinot Noir 2023

Pretty and engaging with red florals, intensity and drive. Polperro always gives us the things we love about Mornington, but with a fresh take that just pushes and aspires without losing what we're counting on – big red fruits and spice-filled tannins.

Polperro Pinot Noir 2023

We’ve always thought every Ottelia white was perfect anytime, but this is next level. Gewürtz with some Pinot Gris and Riesling for a textural palate of lychee and dandelion before a clean, acidic finish. Perfect.

Ottelia Anytime White Gewurtz Pinot Gris Riesling 2024

They call it Rolled Oat Cream Pale Ale but cream flows, it doesn't roll. This one for stance flows over your palate and fills your b-zone (where the beer goes) with refreshing, crispy flavours. Maybe it's named so because they use rollers to flatten the oats before brewing - this helps amplify and clarify fruit flavours and adds body.

Bright Brewery Gotcha! Rolled Oat Cream Pale Ale 355ml (can)

Bright Brewery Inversion NEIPA 440ml (can)

In Clueless, Cher is walking past a fountain when she arrives at her “I love Josh” epiphany. Upon sampling this rosé by a different Josh we love, we imagine a fountain of rosé made spouting a melange of grapes and brimming with crisp red berries and feathery tannins.

Joshua Cooper Regional Series Rose 2024

Coating, impressive and full of blossoms, from delicious white florals to citrus zest. Despite maturation in French oak only, the profile is lean and everything tastes as if it has been rinsed over stones.

Joshua Cooper Regional Series Chardonnay 2024

Philter Red Session Ale 375ml (can)

Clean and plump blackcurrants and autumnal leaves. If you’re grilling tonight, don’t be afraid to pour just a tablespoon into the pan to release all that fond and get a wine reduction going. Yum.
