It’s that time again. Time to inspire me to spend more money on drinks, even though the WineArk cabinet can’t be closed properly and the Amex is maxed out.
So, what wine, beer and other drinks have you been buying this month?
This month, I dipped into more German Riesling, including some of the Loosen Auslese and other bits. I also missed Giaconda allocations (sold out in sub 10 minutes, again?), but this is perhaps a good thing as we need to sell wine (probably Australian Shiraz) to make space as the wine stack is spilling into the lounge room.
First-world problems and all that.
In beery news, I loved the snappy sessionability of the Range LA Vibes Californian IPA (above), and there is a new Bridge Road Dark Harvest collection that should turn up any day now.
Speaking of sessionable, this 2023 Nomads Garden Skin Contact White is one of the more affable orange wines I’ve crossed this year, although arguably too polished to fit the natural wine narrative.
What about you? What drinks have floated your boat/filled your cellar this month?
