Riedel Glassware and Decanters (various prices)

The absolute best in glassware for wine and spirits. Let me know what style and price range you have in mind. Insuring delivery of these is cost-prohibitive for me, so these are only available for pick up from South Melbourne.

"The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.
(Robert M.Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate)

       

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles!

 

     

Red Hill Estate 'Blanc de Blanc' (or Blanc de Noir) ($25)

Took out the trophy at the Brisbane Wine Show - terrific, refreshing fruit-sweetness, with a lovely dry finish. The Blanc de noir is a bit 'meatier', made from 100% pinot noir (red) grapes, with a pale salmon colour.

 

 
 

Domaine Chandon Sparkling Pinot / Shiraz ($26)

The ultimate imprimateur - Reggie drinks it (probably the only Pinot he does drink). Seriously, though, a serious sparkling red - but not porty. Ideal bottle for the Christmas table with roast big bird and ham.

 

 
 
Joseph Perrier NV ($50)
The 'real thing' (and I don't mean Coca-Cola). Wonderful yeasty-bready characters - ideal for toasting friends and loved ones (and new golf holes).
