Too hot to handle
Looked good, was a little too hot for the taste buds.

How much do you love a local Thai restaurant? Our local, Joes Thai, does fabulous food, fried stuffed eggplant with minced seafood and chicken, Gai Yang Thai chicken and an entree or two. Matched to a @birdonawirewine ‘14 Marsanne, a bleedingly brilliant white wine. A sexy big white, is probably what I’d call it, right up my alley. I saved it for a special occasion, and Wednesday night Thai was it. What a match to the eggplant, wow. And yes, I take my own glass to smaller restaurants 😅 don’t you? #joesthai #birdonawire #marsanne #thaifood

Had an amazing day today, met @baristayan who took out World Champion Brewer 2019, for @projectorigincoffee and has the most incredible knowledge of coffee. Which became evident as she walked us through 5 different coffee beans (don’t ask me what they all were, just know that one was $300 kg 😲) The taste and aroma differences was not unlike tasting a flight of wines. Such a great experience, thanks @david.yeates for organising this morning. Ending @ona.coffeehouse eating Fatteh lamb and drinking more Raspberry Candy flat whites. I’ve had enough coffee for today. Now it’s wine time #projectorigin #onacoffee #visitcanberra #canberracoffee #coffee

Meeting @thehouseofbubbles for a quick drink at Capitol Bar and Grill @qtcanberra tonight. A few glasses of @perrierjouet, some oysters, a little bit of bbq octopus, top notch bistecca, a @unicozelo Nero and a bloody amazing dirty martini and I should’ve booked a damn room 😒 Fabulous night out with a fellow wine lover 🍸 PS. Love, love, love the new iPhone 11 😲 #qthotel #visitcanberra #dirtymartini #champagne #bistecca

Ignore the fact that this bottle of 2012 @home_of_obsession Pinot Noir has a torn label, it doesn’t matter. And ignore the fact that the red sun has barely made it through the haze of smoke. It doesn’t matter. It’s not the best photo I’ve taken, and that doesn’t matter either, but Adrian’s cool climate Pinot from Tumbarumba is one of the best Aussie pinots I’ve ever tasted. And the fact that this is my last bottle doesn’t bother me at all, because Adrian needs our help, and our help is to buy his wines. If you head over to Adrian’s website you’ll see the devastation he’s gone through in the last week due to the Tumba fires, where he lost his house, his vineyard, his winery machinery and sheds. So, we need to buy his wine, online, now, so he can rebuild and get back to making this most magnificent drop of Aussie red wine 🍷#obsessionwines #pinotnoir #spendwiththem #buyfromthebush

Feel like going for a drive this weekend? Carla and Malcolm from @sapling_yard would love to see you in Braidwood this weekend at their pop up cellar door @provisionsdeligrocery. There is a massive push to get people back into the smaller towns that are being subsequently affected by these bushfires, we need to get back out there and #spendwiththem 💓 I think Braidwood will be packed to the rafters this weekend, and the businesses really need it. Shall I see you out there? I hope so 🍷#gtwine #canberrawines #saplingyard #bushfiresaustralia

A catch up with dear friends last night, where it’s been almost a decade since we were last together. So many difficulties in life shared, but so many laugh out loud moments also. We drank some southern highlands @cuttawayhill Pinot Gris and kept glancing out the window at the bushland behind us, checking the fire apps and cracking jokes about our evacuation pack necessities 😅 A little bit of a reprieve before a weekend of uncertainty 🔥 Stay safe and cool everyone #gtwine #aussiewine #cheesplatter #pinotgris

How did you spend your ‘19 New Years Eve? I spent mine with my mum and dad, and fiancé, a little good food and some great wines. We played a couple of board games and now I’m sitting here with a wee salted caramel baileys, a bit of panettone and some jazz. A night of zero expectations, only love, family and wonderful times. If this is the way I welcome in 2020, that’s fine by me. Cheers to the new year, and here’s hoping it’s a great one 🥂#GTwine #nye2020 #canberrawines #shiraz

Shopping is best when the tummy is full of @gamichickenbeer and dumplings. @dev_rose_ is trying to steal my ale 😒 #gamichickenandbeer #friedchicken #canberracentre #visitcanberra

A return trip to @rebelrebelcanberra last night with @annamantchakidi took us to France, Spain, Hunter Valley, Cowra, and the Barossa. A Jo Landron Brut Atmospheres with our @moonlightflatoysters; a @astobizawine Txakoli and @usher_tinkler_winemaker Death by Semillon with our tuna and smoked beef tartare starters; I threw Anna for a loop when I ordered the @toroalbalawinery Fino to go with the corn and prawn croquettes and sardine piadana, but I wanted a sherry, dammit! Whereas Anna decided on the Borrowed Cuttings Piquepoul from Steve Faletti of the oysters; we then moved onto the reds for our rump cap with bone marrow, Anna with a Balmy Nights Syrah/Pinot Meunière and me a @storywines Grenache. Quite the subdued wine evening for the two of us when we get together twice a year 😉 #rebelrebel #GTwine #visitcanberra #aussiewine
