Meet The Maker Sessions – Dom Valentine of Valentine Wines

With another Saturday comes another Meet The Maker Sessions with this Saturday to be hosted by Dom Valentine of Valentine Wines.

Dom’s wine journey started in 2010 while working in Rudesheim and Geisenheim in Germany’s Rheingau region. In that year, Dom worked for both both Weingut Josef Leitz and Weingut Georg Breuer – two of the region’s most respected producers. Each of those experiences was  inspiration to return to Australia and pursue his Valere project whereby he sourced grapes each year from a different vineyard in Victoria to explore the lessons learned in Germany.

Fast forward some years and Dom has added a deliciously perfumed Heathcote Grenache and a wildly ace Chardonnay from Victoria’s highest altitude vineyard in Whitlands in the NE of Victoria. Both wines add to Dom’s unmistakable light touch when it comes to producing wines that have true terroir expressions.

So as Molly would say, do yourself a favour and swing on by the WINE STORE | WINE BAR this Saturday, October 27th from 3-6ish and have a gander of three of our fave wines for 2018.

Wine for a Beautiful Sunday – The Liquid Rock n Roll Riesling 2013

rock n roll rzaWhen it’s as good a day in Melbourne as it is today, then I would expect there to be plenty of picnic blankets covering grass in backyards and parks all over town. And when you get weather this good there is nothing better than fielding out deep in a little game of backyard or park cricket and sipping on a delicious Riesling; they won’t hit it to you.

So if that’s the case why not try this little number; the Liquid Rock n Roll Acid Rock Riesling 2013 from the King Valley. Beautifully balanced acid is accompanied with bitter melon, quince and cumquat. A ripping wine for your glass where you hope it’s going to be the sip that never quits.

Drink it with BBQ chicken and $23 always
