Looking for a wine? The following are a few ratings from international wine magazines/publications on some of the wines we stock:

2008 Mac Forbes Woori Yallock Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley ($51)

"Forbes has produced a sub-regional map of the Yarra Valley, supporting his mission to break into the next layer of classification.  From his coolest site, this pinot has sappy varietal character and fine fragrant red-fruit aromas. There's a svelte spine of acid and fine, powdery tannins that gather musky flavour at the finish.  Opens superbly with air - it's at the very start of its evolution." Nick Stock, Gourmet Traveller WINE June/July 2010, 70 Reds to Remember

2007 SC Pannell Nebbiolo, Adelaide Hills ($57)
"Super-fragrant and filled with charm, this offers a nose of red and purple berry fruits set amid fine spice and rosewater.  It works on a finer structure, is impeccably balanced and delivers musky red fruits and an unbroken line of fine, clenching acidity." Nick Stock, Gourmet Traveller WINE June/July 2010, 70 Reds to Remember

2007 Mac Forbes Hugh (Cabernet), Yarra Valley ($51)
"One of the lighter-bodied wines in our tasting and declares 12.5 per cent alcohol - low for a high-quality wine - and yet has good intensity, fragrance and balance.  Bourne noted "quince paste, blackcurrant and dried herbs.  Fine and delicate, with a nice interplay of tannins and acidity". This Yarra Valley wine is a very pleasing - even remarkable - contrast to the big guns in the tasting." Nick Bulleid MW, Gourmet Traveller WINE June/July 2010, Through a Glass Darkly

2008 Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis AC, Burgundy, France $34
"This is a very fresh, rather modern, Chablis that combines traditional regional clues with great purity of chardonnay fruit.  The nose has steely, mineral notes along with apple and white peach aromas. It's dry, intense adn lively, with real savoury presence that lingers in the mouth.  A good introduction to this unique French white wine at a fair price"  Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Age, Epicure, Tuesday 19th January
