Lets face it, we all like to get good wine at great prices. Many of these wines I have tried and are happy to recommend, some are difficult to obtain.
Direct from small wineries
Thomas Vineyard Estate - single vineyard wines, very high quality, over-delivers on price, especially the standard Shiraz. Winter Creek - sensation fruit driven, hand crafted wines of excellent, refined quality and sensible prices. Marius Wines - single vineyard high quality wine at a fantastic price Picardy - another single vineyard (cool climate WA) producer making very high quality wines at great prices.Smallfry - a new micro producer who is worth watching. The wines are well made and reasonably priced. Kurtz Family Wines - the wines are right back on form and sensationally priced. Sylvan Springs - are not only back to form, their wines are a step up in class. Torzi Matthews - terrific wines for the price.

Wine-Searcher.com is worth checking out and can be very useful. They have a free version but if you are buying a reasonable quantity of wine, you will recoup the US$29.95 annual subscription price very quickly. Both Brian and I have been using it (subscription version) for years as a research tool. |
