24.01.2022 Just in case you ever wondered, these are the most popular wines in the world. #cabernetisking #whatthefuckisairèn
24.01.2022 Looking for alternative low/no alcohol ways of still getting some wine in at present This wine butter looks pretty bloody delish Any other wine-based recipe recommendations??
23.01.2022 Ive been reminiscing recently about our trip to Italy This is Ned Kelly and I on a winery tour in Tuscany back when we all had a bit more hair and a few less wrinkles. We still talk about the vineyard owner, Mr Mario, who gave an incredibly passionate tour of his winery all in very animated Italian and the only English he spoke was to tell us his vino was the best, THE BEST! . .
21.01.2022 Goon bag wine. Ye olde faithful. There are many advantages to drinking out of a goon bag - its lighter, easier to carry and easier to store than bottles of wine, but the main perk is that the wines can last for much longer - generally around six weeks after opening. If you havent tried a goon bag in a while get back on it. They can be surprisingly good. ... . . #winewisdom #wine #wino #winos #wineblogger #wineblog #winelover #redwine #redredwine #redwinelover #redwinetime #mamaneedsadrink #winewinewine #wineandflowers #goonbags #wineeducation #perthwine #learningaboutwine #boxedwine #goon #wineinabox #wineme #ilovewine #wineallthetime #drinkwine #wineallday #winewisdomwednesday #winewisdomwomen #wisdominwine #wisdominwinemaking See more
21.01.2022 Learning how to taste wine is easier than you think. I mean, you never stop learning (the experts tell me) but it you put your mind to it, it doesnt take long to stop feeling like a dickhead when you talk to people about how wine tastes. My number one tip? Practice. A LOT. Responsibly of course. Weve put together some more really simple tips for those people who would describe themselves as knowing fuck all about wine but are keen to learn. Our people ...

18.01.2022 We made this yesterday! Well, blended it anyway. Had an awesome afternoon with Shannon Kate Clairault Streicker Wines and Cabin Fever Festival blending, tasting and creating our signature blend It was such a cool learning experience - its amazing how just a couple of percent either way can totally change the taste of the wine, and helps you to pick out the individual characteristics of each.
17.01.2022 Happy Friday Goonies! Randomly decided to crack a Sparkling Shiraz tonight, celebrating the end of a long week plus its about as cold Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere.

15.01.2022 Today is International Chocolate Day, which is a pretty bloody special celebration if you worship at the Temple of Cocao like we do. Try pairing some wine and chocolate together and see what you think - some ideas from the experts in the link below Im not sure it will ever replace wine and cheezels in my heart as my most favorite pairing, but I sure am happy to try.

14.01.2022 One thing I love about people who really know their wine, is their creativity in how they describe the colour. This is me checking out the colour of our special blend , at the @clairaultstreicker Blending Masterclass at @cabinfever_au. I call it... dark red

12.01.2022 Are you ever sad to drink a wine? I bought a box of this Kaesler Stonehorse GSM several years ago. This is my last bottle and Im almost too sad to drink it, it would be like drinking a loyal, delicious, peppery friend. What will I do when I dont have these little babies to turn too on a cold winters night? (Whats that you say? Just buy more wine?? I like what youre putting down...)
11.01.2022 Please welcome the newest addition to the Goon Bags team! An adorable baby sister for Goose and Puffin, this little (4kg!) Lion was born on 23 July! Bron, you are incredible!
09.01.2022 It takes one cluster of grapes to make one glass of wine. Depending on the grape variety, there are approximately 75-100 grapes to a cluster There are approximately four clusters to a 750ml bottle of wine, and one vine produces approximately 10 bottles of wine per year So each vine is about 14 x more productive than I am....... @strandjamassif See more

Here are all her tips! ... https://www.goonbags.com.au//three-top-wineries-to-take-k/
