We have a new wine and beer special on offer at the moment. As with our previous specials, we have only ordered 12 bottles of wine and 2 cases of beer, so once they run out, it’s over.

The Beer
Brew Boys Maiden Ale is a toasty coloured amber ale from the fellas at Brew Boys in South Australia. The beer is quite sweet and malty when it first hits your mouth but then a late explosion of bitterness kicks in cleansing the palate nicely. The Maiden Ale is definitely a beer for autumn – comforting but not too indulgent.

The Wine
2008 Politini Vermentino from the King Valley in Victoria. This is my first experience of Vermentino and I’m a little surprised I haven’t heard more about it. It has a nice floral and inviting nose that gives you an expectation of a clean crisp wine. A drink tells a different story as it has a much richer flavour than expected but the finish is quite dry, leaving you ready for a little more.
