Laphroaig 10yo Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The late American academic Rodney Whitaker wrote a number of novels under a variety of pen names.
As Trevanian he wrote both the Eiger and Loo Sanctions to create Dr Jonathan Hemlock. Professor, criminal art collector, mountaineer, US government assassin and lover. Of women and Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch.
Which has now joined the OWL LIST at just $71 a bottle. It's arguably the most distinctive of all whiskies. There is no middle ground. You either love or hate depending on how you feel about distilled sea weed.

Cavatina 2009 Chianti Classico Riserva

I love Italian red wine. Dry, savoury, complex wines that are more dependent on fruit than alcohol or wood maturation. This has the full DOCG classification, it's Sangiovese from Tuscany and as good as it gets under $30. Every sip reveals a new layer of flavour. If you're a fan just grab some at this price and if you're an experimenter who wants to find out what it's all about just grab a few in a mixed dozen.

Peel Estate 2006 Premium White

Another wonderful curio from Will Nairn - a blend of Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc that's a mere 7 years young. Its half price offering is by no means a reflection of the wine, rather that they just want to clear the final small quantity. And I can never resist a bargain gem like this, no matter how left of centre it may be. It's in perfect condition with a little aged development and plenty of acid. Beautifully nailed on the label description: "Rich honeyed Chenin Blanc and herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc blended together to form one marvelous mouthful of flavour". This is a complex, intriguing wine for fans of mature whites.

Berton Vineyard 2014 Pewter Label Vermentino

The debut 2012 vintage won a trophy at the 2012 Citibank NSW wine awards for BEST YOUNG DRY WHITE and was one of the most drinkable white wines I'd ever tasted. Cellar door buyers loved it, racing out the door with plenty of repeat buyers.

The equally impressive 2013 has arrived and gone,

And we've now seamlessly morphed into the superb 2014 vintage.

I've been recommending it to anyone who says "I'm a bit over sauvignon blanc" or "I'm just looking for something different". It's fresh, crisp and lively with a fruit profile somewhere between riesling and sauvignon blanc and while it's a variety I've never sold before it deserves to be huge. It won't, but it should be the "NEXT BIG THING" after sauvignon blanc

Warburn 1164 LR 2009 NSW Montepulciano

Montepulciano is the next most significant Italian red grape after the dominant Sangiovese. It's late ripening so plantings are in central and southern Italy which makes me surprised that more isn't grown in the warmer irrigated areas of Australia. 
Especially after tasting this superb effort.

This is a rich robust red with layers of fruit complexity and an acceptable 14.5% a/v. If you're looking for something excitingly different, while still being a mainstream red, this is the one for you.

Kingston Estate 2010 Barossa/Clare Shiraz

Kingston have come a long way since I last tasted them. Now distributed by the fine wine wholesaler that looks after d'Arenberg, they have very smart new packaging and offer even greater value for money.
We were offered a whole box full of samples, by an enthusiastic new sales rep, which I rejected with the request that she only submit the wines that she believed offered outstanding quality at their prices. The benefit of that is that it saves us time and tests how good she is.
She's VERY good.

It's a fair hike from their base in the Riverland but I'm glad someone made the trip. This is a full bodied, rich intense unmistakeable shiraz in perfect balance. Alcohol is a sensible 14% and if you paid $20 for it you wouldn't be disappointed by the quality on offer. At an absurd $11 this is impossible to recommend highly enough.

d'Arenberg 2008 "The Dead Arm" Shiraz

This is their flagship red and how could it be better described than their own tasting notes. "The heady aroma is both powerful and pretty with notes of fennel, purple flowers and blossom mingling with ripe, varietal purple fruits and black pepper. The oak is hardly evident which allows fruit and soil complexities to emerge with edges of rhubarb and red mulberry and savoury characters of dried herbs, game and spice. The palate opens with anise, black pepper, graphite and restrained dark cherries before it gives way to seductive mulberry, plum, licorice and spice. It has great power, depth and length with very vibrant, gritty fruit tannins providing immense structure. Notes of anise and spice linger for a long time after the last sip. The Dead Arm 2008 strikes a rare balance of power, complexity and finesse with impressive structure that will reward those with patience to cellar it. While enjoyable in youth, this wine will reach its full potential with bottle age up to at least 20 years. The considerable structure and depth will ensure that the fruit characters will develop over time revealing more complexity and providing immense interest.":

Cobra Premium Beer

Cobra is a great beer.
Clean and crisp and searingly dry. 4.8% a/v, perfect for hot climes and unmistakeably "The Inspiring Taste of India".
That's what it says on the box. 
It's also a "Refreshingly Smooth Premium Beer". But wait there's more and it's a biggie. Cobra also claims to be the "THE WORLD'S MOST CELEBRATED BEER".
Got to laugh. And if you're not chuckling already I can tell you that the cases we have were brewed in Burton-on-Trent.
