Never a truer word was spoken.
Dear <<What can I call you?>>
This month sees a new and exciting milestone: the annoucement of the first TWD wine dinner. More on that if you draw your eyes to the left. This month also sees a slew of amazing wines compiled from some of my more fun experiences in the last month. Notably I did have quite a pleasant evening at Matteo's drinking Hermitage and German Rieslings. I have also taken the chance to step out to the Yarra Valley again and you can see some new and old favourites in the wines for sale this month. Plus I have relived a thrilling moment in How To Drink A Birth Year Magnum.
Finally, congrats to Fred G. for winning the $50 gift voucher for subscribing in the month of March.
Regards,
Phil Smith, Tempier and Charlie

Sweet Wine
If you missed last months issue here is the start of the discussion. The best sweet wines are some of the most complex wines you are likely to taste, they have the ability to linger on your palate a lot longer than most dry wines and they have a huge ability to age for a long time. They can also match with foods that dry wines just can't. Desserts, fruits and strong cheeses just to name a few. Bear in mind that not all of these are seriously sweet, lightly sweet wines have their place and can be mighty refreshing.
