#thekingscreed I'm not sure if Pinot Grigio is supposed to go with blueberry crumble but I am willing to sacrifice myself for the common good. Verdict: yum. Adelaide Hills, fresh and fruity with apples and pears. #adelaidehills #pinotgrigio #dessert #homecooking #southaustralianwines #thankgoditsfriday

Riversdale Estate 2019 Pinot Gris. Cool climate Pinot Gris from the Coal River Valley in Tasmania. Bright, fresh and moresome. (Follow our blog, details in bio)

Ravensworth wines @bjmart8 2021 pinot Gris. Skin contact gives this a great orange hue. Bryan Martin has done his magic again and produced another funky pinot gris. Very different to the ordinary Australian florally styled pinot gris. Zingingly refreshing with madarins and grapefruits, always sells out. Cool climate Canberra stuff.

Protero Nebbiolo. The Mediterranean conditions synonomous with Adelaide Hills in South Australia suit this grape varietal and Steve Pannell cracked it with this one. Love the dark cherry and smooth tannins. Lucky to source this one through @upstairswines Yummo.

Velvetey Chocolate and beautiful. The Dude Imperial Milk Stout from my local Brewery. The guys and gals from @bayrdbrewing have done it again. At 12%, yes 12% this is a Knockout. Lockdown drinkies.
