Following up on a video a week ago, I opened one of my bottles of Chapter Shiraz 2014 that I bought at the Boomtown Winter Wine Launch. Jarad Curwood made this wine, and I hope to have him on The Vincast wine podcast very soon.

Let’s Taste – Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon 1995
I opened my bottle of Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon 1995 from the Intrepid Cellar, and recorded my impressions, talking a bit about Margaret River, the Jimmy Watson Trophy, and mature cabernet sauvignon wines. In spite of the amazing wine knife made by Code 38, I need to improve my technique with these older bottles as the corks are more fragile and can break.

Let’s Taste – Dell’Uva Wines with The Intrepid Wino
After running a successful commercial nursury for many years, importing countless alternative varieties in to Australia, Wayne Farquhar launched his Dell’Uva Wines brand quite recently. I visited his vineyard in the Barossa Valley in 2013 and tasted some wines in tank, so I was thrilled when he visited Melbourne and gave me some bottles to try. Here are my impressions.

Let’s Taste – Boomtown Wine Co-op White 2015
A few weeks ago I went to the Boomtown Wine Cooperative Winter Launch, and picked myself up some bottles. I opened up the 2015 White for dinner at my girlfriends place, and recorded my thoughts on it.

Let’s Taste – Penfolds Bin 389 1996 and Seville Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1999
I was at my parents place, which meant I had access to my cellar, and so I opened up a few wines from the ’90s. First I opened and tasted the Penfolds Bin 389 1996, then the Seville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1999.

The Vincast with Julian Castagna from Castagna Vineyard
Before entering the wine industry, Julian had a successful and diverse career in the film and advertising industries, until he desired a more peaceful life on a vineyard. He scoured Australia for his slice of heaven but “kept coming back to Beechworth” in Victoria, eventually establishing Castagna Vineyard at 500m on granite soils. Due to his fascination with and affinity to biodynamic European wines, he became the first official biodynamic vintner in Australia, and an ambassador for biodynamic agriculture in the country, organising such fantastic events as the Return to Terroir tastings.
