#MondayBevvies – The Hop-portunistic Dainton Insane Uncle IPA

Lets admit it, we’ve all got one right? Be it at a wedding or Christmas Lunch or whatever the occasion; there’s always an insane uncle lurking around the corner to embarrass you. Yet this is a different insane uncle. This one is most Hop-portunistically ACE.insane

Since gracing the fridge for the past few weeks here in the store, the Dainton Insane Uncle IPA from the outer reaches of Frankston, has quite instantly found a cult following, and rightly so. There is balanced citrus notes of grapefruit and cumquat which are perfectly woven together with fine grippy hops. Just so smashable and always $17 in a 4 pack.

#FridayWineOnMyMind – The Natural Wine Co Central Ranges Organic Shiraz 2015

Without dropping a huge cliché, but “Winter is coming”. Yep, today is the first real jumper weather day of the season and boy-oh-boy doesn’t it feel nice not to be sticky, hot and humid.nat red

To celebrate our first real Autumn day for 2016, all weekend we will be taking 10% of this belter of a Shiraz – The Natural Wine Co. Central Ranges Organic Shiraz 2015. And it’s only $15, so $13.50 all weekend. And it’s ORGANIC. Yet the most important thing is this wine tastes fantastic. Awesome dark fruit with hints of Chinese 5 spice on the nose, the wine  in the palate follows the lead from the nose with bright dark fruit and spice with an almost mocca/earthy line at the back. #TickityBooAce indeed and $13.50 all weekend
