HANDPICKED: COMMUNE OF BUTTONS NEBBIOLO ROSATO

This week's recommendation is an amazing rose carefully crafted from Nebbiolo in the Piccadilly Valley of the Adelaide Hills. This ripping rosato is a lot more interesting than the typical strawberries and cream you get from Provençal rosés. This has some lovely cherry, pomegranate, rose and light spice characters coming from the Nebbiolo with some intriguing texture and grip. Much more food-friendly than most rosé without losing its own drinkability - this is a rosato to satisfy the average punter and wine nerds. Pick some of this up for the long weekend!

THE OCCASSION EDIT

BYO to a French Restaurant

Last weekend, Pete went to a BYO dinner at Porcine which lead to us having a discussion about what we would all bring to a French restaurant. Naturally, we leaned towards French wine with a white and red each. We agreed that the whites should have great acidity and freshness to hold up to the food whereas the reds ideally would be lighter in body, delicate and savoury to match the food. The quality of wine should match the quality of food and make paying a corkage fee worth it. As expected, Pete chose 2 wines from Burgundy - the PYCM Bourgogne Blanc and the Mortet Bourgogne Rouge. I have opted for the Moreau-Naudet Chablis for a lighter touch amongst the other bolder whites and the Bachelet Bourgogne Rouge. Manni has gone for the oxidative Jura blanc in Montbourgeau and the iconic Fleurie from Jean Foillard. I think we'd be pretty stoked to drink these amazing French wines with some French food - pick up some of these and give them a try!
