Like rolling/sliding down an icy hill on a lemon that needed another couple of days – are lemons just meant to drop? It’s not tart, there’s lime leaf and lees for breath and texture. So perfect with cos lettuce, bagna cuada and comte in the afternoon.

Babche Farmers Fizz Pet Nat 2024

Grown in one of our favourite Yarra Valley subregions, Dixons Creek, this is a cool climate-styled Shiraz that’s full of true-to-style dark fruits like violets and dark plums, whilst still being easy-drinking in the Bistro way – just like that inspiring Syrah we loved in the Rhône Valley too long ago.

BISTRO Shiraz 2022

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

It’s something to bring to a friend’s place over summer when they’re doing a brunch and plonk it on the table. There’s nothing ostentatious here, just a sweet zest and a smidge of soft, ripe, yellow fruit.

Moondarra Cuvee Maree Blancs de Blanc Sparkling NV

A full wild fermentation that took place in large format oak and leaves you with plenty of grapefruit snap and tart strawberries in the glass. It’s a great lunch wine and will do well with quince, cheese and chatter.

Moondarra Holly's Garden Uberbrut NV

There’s texture to make all the white peach and nectarine feel almost visible, and it’s all smooth thanks to some driven vanilla cream notes.

Stoney Rise Coal River Valley Chardonnay 2024

Some things play sweet, but the sweetness stays out of the way because your eye (and palate) is too busy loving all the big orange notes here, which dance with local botanicals— strawberry gum and lemon myrtle. Pour generously in a highball over ice. Yum.

Scintilla Apero Blanc Vermouth 2023

A mostly whole-bunch fermentation that shows off some skinsy Chardonnay, but with phenolic edges that are lifted by the Sauvignon Blanc with Swayze-like. When floating up there, you'll feel floral and citrus goodness, and a fresh-cut grass feel.

Scintilla Elektrik Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay 2023

Pulpy with a little oxidative edge. This drinks broad so a lot of people are going to love it, and find attractive flavours in every sip. Ripe apple is pretty consistent throughout, like a smile.

Scintilla River Balhannah Chardonnay 2023

Expect a cornucopia of subtle red fruits that sparkle like mosaics on a clear, sunny afternoon. Mostly Pinot Muenier that comes from the rive gauche (left bank) of Mardieul just under Reims.

Gamet Rive Droite Extra Brut Champagne Blanc de Noirs NV

Someone at Fox Friday's been firing up the Neil Young and we're down! It's a West Coast Pale that has Topanga (Neil's got a home there) vibes, complete with the pine notes and citrus, and a little of that true-to-style dank. 440ml // 5.0%

Fox Friday Harvest Moon West Coast Pale Ale 

Barstools ARE built for dreamers so you'll need something imaginative and inspiring to sip. Of course, you'll probably be on the couch or in the park when downing this so I'd chuck on Barstool Blues by Neil Young and let all the Golden Promise do its thing. 440ml // 6.3% ABV

Fox Friday Barstools Built For Dreamers Pale Ale 

Fox Friday 12 Plato Czech Amber Lager 440ml

American Wheats are pretty rare nowadays, especially those made in Moonah, Tasmania which, according to my atlas is pretty far away from the U.S. of A. Flavours are bold citrus–think grapefruit and juicy orange peel. A real summer tasty summer brew. 440ml // 5.2%

Fox Friday Thresher American Wheat 

Rocky Ridge Lust IPL 440ml

Rocky Ridge collaborated with Mountain Culture for this gem and who’d have guessed… two amazing breweries have made a great beer! 500mls of pure bliss at 11% that’ll make you wanna just slow down and enjoy. (440ml) 11.0% ABV

Rocky Ridge Sloth Hazy IIIPA

Domaine Amirault Les Quateron Cremant de Loire Sparkling Brut NV

Fermented entirely in stainless steel to let the Grigio take centre stage and taste just like how you want Grigio from King Valley to taste, with that stone fruit, some sublime pear, and gentle acidity.

Santolin Pinot Grigio 2023

We’ve been waiting for this and you’re going to love all the bright red fruits that come helixed in herbs, a dab of sap and some delicious bitter, amaro spice. Cheers.

Little Saint Pinot Noir 2022

This feels like a wine that’s showing off a lot of charming assets. From the green apple snap and zest of lemon citrus to the light mealy note from some time on lees, along with the chalky pith that is almost palpable, and dipped in salt. If you ever wished your Muscadet had some effervescence, this is the wine for you.
