Sam Trimboli LOVES Durif. He calls it a “stunning little powerhouse grape that develops astounding complexity”. The numberplate on his car even sports the word ‘Durif’, that’s how highly he rates it. The grapes for this wine come from a small vineyard that Sam helped establish in the 1980s and is now at peak maturity.

Sam Trimboli has been creating bestselling wonders for us for nearly 20 years, so when we asked him for an exceptional Shiraz the great man was happy to oblige. Once again this 2018 'Special Reserve' is made with Shiraz sourced from premium vineyards owned by many of Australia's leading independent growers.

Crafted to deliver a distinct flavour hit like no other. Made using only the freshest ginger it delivers a punchy ginger bite. It has a clean, smooth taste and as the liquid passes through the palate the ginger will fill the whole mouth, leaving a warmth at the back of the throat. Should be inverted before opening to allow the sediment to go back into solution. Enjoy straight or pour over ice with a twist of lemon.

A great craft beer from Lord Nelson, the oldest licensed hotel in Sydney. One of the first hotels to brew their own. This Three Sheets Pale Ale has delightfully balanced malt, overtones of herbaceous hop characters, citrus flora's and aromas. Medium Gold in Colour.

Yeah, quadruple-hopped, barrel-aged, double IPAs brewed with gold leaf and space dust are great, but have you ever had a pale ale? A good pale ale is a beautiful thing, and Tasty Pale Ale is a stunner. With punchy hop flavours of pine and stone fruit from the all-US hop line up, and a full-bodied mouthfeel, this brew is one tasty crowd pleaser.

Stone & Wood from Byron Bay have burst onto the craft beer scene with some fantastic hand crafted beers including this Pacific Ale which is jam packed full of fresh tropical fruit aromas and flavours. The quintesential summer sessional beer, it has crowd pleaser written all over it.

A favourite with generations of South Australians this well-balanced beer with a clean hop bitterness is an outstanding example of an Australian draught Lager.

Full ginger beer taste and full beer strength (5.3% to be exact). The Ginja Ninja is brewed with local Tumut region Batlow apples. It has almost no carbs as most of the sugar is fermented out of it. When you feel like a change from beer or just want to try something different, ask for a Ginja Ninja.

This take on the XPA style beefs up the body (of the beer that is, not you), and uses just a single hop throughout. If you’re going for one you might as well make it a good one, so choose Citra. It hasn’t been hopped it to oblivion, instead allowing for the addition of crystal malt to express and balance the assertive bitterness. Of course it's been dry hopped generously, so there’s plenty of aroma there too!

A HAZY ALE WITH INTENSE FRUIT FLAVOURS AND AROMAS. LESS PERCEIVED BITTERNESS THAN TRADITIONAL HAZY ALES BUT MASSIVELY HOP-FORWARD.
