		<title>My favourite things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aah.  Julie Andrews.  Children dressed in curtain material, frolicing through meadows of wildflowers.  Georg in lederhosen.
Well not quite - just Burgundy and Mosel.  And in this instance, the culprits are:
2004 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin 1er Combe Aux Moines: Now starting to brick a little, this has a mushroomy, mulchy nose with a little bit pf [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vasse Felix Shiraz 1995</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Cellaring wine to advanced age isn’t my thing. No patience, cellar conditions OK at best, and I like primary fruit flavours. Margaret River Shiraz has never floated my boat. And I have no idea where this bottle came from. A random buy from my youth? A generous guest from days gone by? An X file?
Whichever [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas Day 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My Christmas Day selections this year:
Ployez Jacquemart Selection Rose: Lovely – just right, and its pinkness was Christmas-appropriate.  And it won over a non champagne crowd with its delicate strawberry and lemon notes.
Ployez Jacquemart Brut 2000: Served too warm – tasty nonetheless for being Christmas day.  Another bottle will get consumed very shortly.
Auburn Lowburn Riesling [...]]]></description>

		<title>2001 Chateau D&#8217;Arche Sauternes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cellar database says I bought this in 2005 out of a Sauternes tasting which was to showcase the 2001 vintage,  paired with foods you might not expect.  Smoked Salmon was a surprise match for some of the more elegant versions, as was a pork leg in a cream sauce.  I have vague recollections of this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Odds and ends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some odds and ends from the last week:
2008 Schaefer Frohlich Bockenauer Kabinett: A higher residual sugar kabinett,  Yep, back up the truck. Alive and joyful. Rich for an 08, creaming soda passionfruit and tropical, even creamy. bordering on Spatlese intensity. Yet herbal and slatey as well. Lively, lovely juggable.
2008 Chard Farm Gewurztraminer: Has gone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Riesling weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, sort of - a weekend in is bliss at the moment with my day job just being insane.  Here&#8217;s what we drank with some tasty home meals of fish on Friday and pork on Saturday.
1993 Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Spatlese
This must have been searing and hard to approach in its youth – unless it has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clonakilla Riesling 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Riesling. Riesling I love.  The thing I love is Riesling.
And oddly I have almost no Australian Riesling and almost no dry Riesling from anywhere.  I’m off the uberlime Clare Valley things.  I have no floral beauties from Eden.  I don’t even have the bathsalts minerally morsels from western Victoria.
But [...]]]></description>

		<title>2005 Dr Loosen Erdener Pralat Auslese Godlkapsel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I sip this wine I can think of two ways to describe it.
Clinically:  This is glowing gold, and tastes like ripe pineapple, passionfruit, orange pith, apricot and seville orange rind, with a touch of vanilla and honey. Decent length, and leaves you salivating and wanting another glass.
Emotionally: Walking the rows at the Lowburn [...]]]></description>

		<title>2009 Bindi Quartz Chardonnay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Holy unseasonal weather batman, its 32 degrees today in Brisbane!  I  thought I’d be drinking pinot noir tonight, but too hot.  And lamb  cutlets means riesling just wont do.  This bottle of chardonnay has been  winking at me for a while so tonight is its night.
A  healthy straw colour.  Smells of freshly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dinner at Cinco Bistro, Brisbane, 27 August 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently a group of 10 of us went to dinner to celebrate Lincoln changing jobs. The venue was Cinco Bistro at Camp Hill, and the wine theme was “Those wines you’re saving for the special occasion that never came”.
Cinco was up to its usual standard, and the wine list was one of very high repute. [...]]]></description>
