We love great wine. We have curated a collection of award winners from independent vintners. Every bottle is one that we'll drink to the last drop.

@mosswood is another #MargaretRiver institution that needs no introduction. Intimate winery tour experience. Highlight was tasting in the unpretentious cellar. Love the lineup, with some fascinating cepages. A must-visit in the region.

@leeuwinestate is “one of the founding wineries in the Margaret River region”. Its Art Series Chardonnay is a benchmark acclaimed worldwide. We celebrated 40 years of friendship with a 4-course seasonal menu in their private dining room boasting spectacular views of the verdant grounds. The wine pairing included 2023 Leeuwin Estate Brut, 2025 Art Series Riesling, 2023 Art Series Chard, and 2022 Art Series Cab Sauv.

A memorable meal for the ages.

It was meant to be a low-key evening to bid farewell to @park90winelounge before its move to new digs. Instead, it turned out to be a celebration of sorts with some stunning bottles. My WOTN was the Gaia. Grateful for the overflowing generosity. Marvelous memories.

Commemorating trip 3 of 2026 (way back in March). Do you know that there's a @riedel_official branded wine bar in sultry #Bangkok? They have a pretty decent selection of wine by glass. And if you're lucky, there's live lounge music on some nights. Located in the heart of the main shopping district, this is the perfect place ro unwind after a hectic day of too much retail therapy.

'19 Kongsgaard Chardonnay:
Almost pronounced aromas of ripe pineapple, apricot, vanilla, oak. Creamy mouth feel lined with unmistakable wood. Flavours congruent with nose, but more minerals. Mid+ body & acids. High alcohol.

'07 @copainwines Wentzel Pinot Noir: Medium nose of dried raspberry, just dried rose petal. Above average body & acids. Fine, ripe tannins. Pronounced palate of sour red cherry, earl grey tea, toast.

'88 @chateaupapeclement: Faded glory. Past prime but still utterly enjoyable. Surprisingly still developing with blackcurrant present. Graphite, cracked leather, potpourri, dried Italian herbs, earthy mushroom. Medium- acids and tannins. Latter slippery. Overall rounded on the palate. Intensity & finish diminished. Yet still feels special.

'98 Ch. Certan de May: In its perfect drinking window. Developing still. Dark plum & cherry, violet, subtle oak. So juicy & savoury at the same time. Everything in harmony. Feels fresh, fluid with medium acids. Tannins very polished. Structure is there without demanding your attention.

Following the earlier late post, here's another from the same session. Thought Christmas would be a good occasion to try this domaine. Drink this now if you long for something fruit-forward; will surely improve with age.

'17 @domainedesperdrix Echezeaux Grand Cru: Dramatically unfurling its wings in the red spectrum (cranberry, strawberry). Then black fruits (cherry, plum). Minor tertiaries (mushroom) take over the tease. Body seems to be on the lighter side (likely because the Talbot preceded), largely in part by feathery tannins & lively acid flutter. Would like to see more power, greater persistence (again, unfairly compared with the claret). Hopefully the remaining bottles will perform better.

A very late post from last Christmas. Still worth talking about because its a memorable specimen of a well-cellared claret. And apt for kicking off this year's wine notes.

'82 @chateautalbot: Aged to perfection from a legendary vintage. Cherry brandy, leather, dried herbs, earthy mushroom, sandalwood. Tannins have fallen to below moderate and, unsurprisingly, have morphed with the fruit core. Acidity is also waning. The overall impression is subtlety, not structural shortcoming. It drinks seductively. The palate ends slightly too soon, but that does not detract from its loving caress.

@barleonehk, the @50bestbars top #bar in the world, is not about fancy. The deco is low key; the drinks don't need gimmicks / fancy glassware. Looking at my Ortega Old Fashioned and Filthy Martini, they appear more than ordinary - boring even. But I am deceived. Instead, they reveal astonishing layers of complexity I've not seen in a #cocktail. (I've been to a few of the other top bars around the world.) These are clearly concocted with a missionary zeal. And the bar bites are also next level. They demonstrate passion & attention to detail worthy of a Michelin restaurant.

Definitely deserving of its #1 accolade.

A 50-year old in attendance at #Christmas dinner. For a half-century bottling, this has aged more gracefully than the Ducru Beaucaillou of the same vintage (see earlier post). 1975 is revealing to be a minor sleeper hit.

'75 @chateau_branecantenac: The cork on this comes out much easier, but the last bit becomes a casualty. Deep, turbid garnet. Nose packing a different kind of punch: Old leather, earthy mushroom, potpourri, dried cassis, faded Angelica root, milk chocolate from the Advent calendar. Body has lost muscle, falling below average - but it hardly detracts from satisfaction. The toasty (unmitigated), tertiary palate may not be pronounced (any more) but succeeds in highlighting handsome notions of dried blackberry & oregano. Less than moderate tannins surprise me by still resisting integration. Mid point acids provide needed pace. Aftertaste lingers.
