REGULARS
Savoury to Sparkling
WINES TO WATCH | Mike Bennie
Two contrasting styles of wine showcase the unique character of their makers: elegant, avant-garde and experimental.
Bio Revolution
Green gauge | Angus Hughson
While he might have started out as an unintentional environmentalist, distiller Peter Bignell is leaving others in his eco-friendly wake.
Smoke Signal
TASTING WINE | HUON HOOKE
Everyone agrees Australia has experienced a hellish summer, but debate rages over the extent of smoke taint on the 2020 vintage. The proof will be in the tasting.
Tempranillo
VARIETY SPOTLIGHT | Angus Hughson
Nothing says Spanish red wine better than tempranillo, but the flexible variety is also finding a home in a number of Australian regions, where our hot dry climate is testing its tenacity.
Viking Invasion
CRAFT BEER | julian tompkin
The wild heirloom Norwegian yeast brought back from the edge has brewers here in a fizz over its fast turnaround.
Zero Per Cent
SPIRIT GUIDE | DOM SWEENEY
For those wanting a quality drink but without the alcohol, distillers are crafting options that are full of flavour. Say goodbye to that lemon, lime and bitters.
Café Paci
BENNIE'S BARS | MIKE BENNIE
As soon as its doors opened, Café Paci staked a claim as one of Australia’s best, where minimal intervention is the name of the game when it comes to the wine list.
Lucky in Red
ASIAN PERSPECTIVE | jeremy oliver
You wouldn’t expect a fifth-generation Austrian winemaker to find themselves in China’s Ningxia wine region, but Lenz Moser was presented with an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Going Global
OBSERVATIONS | Andrew Caillard MW
From supermarket shelves to La Place de Bordeaux, wines from Chile and Argentina continue to make their mark on the world.
Tempt Not
LAST WORD | Morris Gleitzman
A friendly reminder that Gwyneth Paltrow can’t hold a candle to our aromatics.

AMY NORTHCOTT
