Today I found myself in the vicinity of and I thought to myself…….you really need to stop by and check out their small but growing range of pet-nats, it’s market research is it not???
Instantly draw to a label I didn’t recognise, very cool. And then I was slightly shocked……..the producer ……..a pet-nat from one of the big boys!!! How fabulous! So of course now I had to purchase at least one to try….again, market research.
And happy days! It’s great! A ferocious fizz. Fruity grapefruit, guava, peach and strawberries notes. Crisp and dry and amazing colour
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
did you have a hand in this??
Fancy pants glassware from friends

We love dogs and we love wine! 🥂🍾🥰🐶🐾❤️
Who doesn’t? 🤷🏻‍♀️
We especially love as they are obviously kindred spirits. Amazing wines all named after their four legged fur babies!
My absolute fav is the Disco Puppy 2 Pet-Nat. A delicious Sauv Blanc with loads of gooseberry and peach, and fab fizz! $28 and selling quickly.
Jeremy’s favourite is the Ruby Rosé. A summery blend of Grenache and Syrah. Think strawberry lemonade, lovely! $25 and only a few left
And I will always have a soft spot for Pippa! The first Pet-Nat I tried from winemaker Cron. This fresh and dry Fiano is peachy punch and buttery popcorn…..delish! $30 and nearly gone 😢

A brilliant Sunday wouldn’t you agree? For us it was a quick (wine pick up) trip to the Hunter Valley, and plenty delicious Autumn sunshine to soak up. The only thing that could possibly improve this day is the addition of Bianco Pet-Nat! 🤍🤍🤍
This sunshiny Pet-Nat is 50% Fiano and 50% Greco. With or without food, with or without friends to share with, this Bianco is perfect!
Now why not take this to the next level and have the Bianco, with the Lambrusco Rosé, and the traditional Lambrusco Pet-Nat, all wrapped up in a three pack?!?!
Well, consider it done! Just $70 delivered to your door 🍾🥂🥰🌈🦄

Now available from the website! Maison De Turps 2021 L’hypocrite 💥💥💥
This first release Pet-Nat from is freaking amazing! A lifted but textural blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% Pinot Gris 🤗
It’s a complex little number with dried and sweet cherry, raspberry, Meyer lemon and orange rind. Beautifully aromatic, with great body and fabulous fizz! And very reasonably priced at $27 per bottle, what’s not to love! 🍾🥂🥰🌈🦄

Do you want more of this deliciousness in your life and your fridge???
Or course you do!!!
And why wouldn’t you???
It’s bloody brilliant!!!
Well, luckily we have more Agitate on the way! 🍾🥂🤩💥🌈🦄
Seriously, this is the goods people. Loads of lime with a hint of salt, make for a bright, crisp, summer all year round kinda Pet-Nat Riesling. The first offering from and it’s a cracker!
Stock will be limited and when the 2021 is gone……it’s gone! So don’t miss out on trying this amazing natty wine. Will be on the website soon or message me to preorder 😘

Well, the temperature has plummeted, it’s blowing a gale, and the rain has been torrential, all a tad depressing………OR is it????
Because it sounds like perfect Pet-Nat weather to me! 🤗
So let me introduce you to Pet-Nat therapy. It won’t solve all your problems but it won’t hurt either! 🤷🏻‍♀️
This offering from is pretty special. 🤩🤩🤩
l’hypocrite is a blend of Shiraz and Pinot Gris, guaranteed to please! I get crisp candy apple and tart green apple all at the same time, with a splash of red berry. Fabulously dry with great fizz! 🍾🥂😍🌈🦄
And only 400 bottles produced! So I am feeling extremely special 🥰
Will be up on the website asap or just message me to preorder 😘

Wednesday night was cocktail night ! 🍸🍹💥

Yesterday I found myself just down the road from . And I thought to myself……it would be almost rude not to drop by and admire their impressive selection of Pet-Nats. Call it market research 🧐
So I find myself admiring the impressive display, and realise, it would DEFINITELY be rude not to purchase something. So what am I to do???
My choice 2021 Riesling Pet-Nat did not disappoint! Great fizz, loads of lemon with a hint of salt. A nice super dry finish. I’m thinking of simple whiting fillets with lemon butter, or maybe white bait fritters!?!
Anyway I am now obsessed with Gilbert Family Wines and must get my hands on some to share with you. Will keep you posted!

Today I was reminded what a fabulous deal The Mixed Bag is!!! 🤔🤗
Six of my favourite delicious natty wines for just $150. Awesome wines, hand chosen by me for you, delivered to your door! 🥂🍾🥰🌈🦄
I try to pick 6 very different Pet-Nats, usually 3 reddish and 3 whites. But if I want I could mix it up even more and throw in a few skinsy numbers!?!? Just leave me a note in the special instructions section for any random requests and I will see what I can do! 😊
Find it on the website in the Bundles section! 😘

Magic afternoon at the last Sunday Sippers of the season!!!

Indulgent???
Why, yes it is!!!🥂🍾🥰🎉🦄🌈
Pet-Nat is a delicious and clever blend of the traditional champagne varieties. Chardonnay, Pinot Meunière and Pinot Noir. Sounds fabulous and it is! 🤩💛
For me it’s stewed apple and pear, and brioche, and a satisfyingly crisp dry finish.
It makes me think of dessert! 🤔🤗
It’s all about good cheese, if you are asking hard or soft, I would say have both!
But if you have a sweet tooth I have to say vanilla bean ice cream, plus anything you love to eat with ice cream.
I still have a few of this incredible Pet-Nat in stock, and it’s a must try if you are a lover of natty wines. Once gone they are gone, because if history is our guide, I suspect the James Becker will be producing something completely different for 2022!

Please remember that my opinions are uneducated ones. I am I wine lover, definitely not a wine expert. 😘

The almost constant rainy weather atm can make some of us a little melancholy 😢
Luckily, I have found the remedy to combat the dull skies and low mood…..skin contact!
Yes, of course a hug is fab, but skinsy wine is what I’m talking about! 🧡🧡🧡
Let me introduce you to Bonnie. 100% Heathcote Semillon, 100% delicious, 100% smile juice 😊
21 days on skins gives big flavour and great texture. Think apricot and tangy tangerine, and fabulously fresh acidity. Pair it with nearly anything or nothing at all! 😉😘
You can find it now on the website xx

Beautiful sunset paired perfectly with a bottle of Pash & Pop! 🍾🥂🥰😘
My apologies for the lack of bottle pics but you can find this amazing favourite on the website xx

I am the epitome of lazy at the best of times when it comes to social media. But then, take me on holidays, and I will take it to a whole new level! 🦥
Perfect holiday wines part one! 🍾🥂🥰🌈🦄
Lambrusco Rosé and Disco Puppy 2

Happy Days!!! 🍻☀️🏖❤️
I am of the opinion that you should take as many holidays as possible, whenever you can at the moment. So luckily you will have more holiday wine pics this week!

I’ve decided, in my infinite wisdom, to make Thursday night Pet-Nat date night. Yes, I maybe happily married, but we are talking about my relationship with wine here, and I am feeling the need to reacquaint myself with some of my previous loves! 🍾🥂🥰🌈🦄
I’ve decided to start with the big guns! Jungle Sundae, it’s been too long since we have been together. Stunningly bold and beautiful ❤️
Yes, this was a fabulous idea 💡

More holiday wine!!! This gorgeous creation is from 2021 Gris (amber) 🧡🧡🧡
And what a treat. Apple and pear, with hints of spice and blackberry. Sublimely textural yet fresh and crisp! One of the many treasures in my latest M & J Becker members pack
And now that I’ve tried it, I must have it to share with you. So expect to see it on the website in the next week or so 🥰😘

I love this Übergew from ! 🤩🤩🤩
It’s a little floral and a touch of sherbet, but not too sweet. And I am of the opinion that this variety may make and exceptional Pet-Nat!?!? However, we must remember that I am a natty wine lover, and not a wine expert like James Manners. But I would be interested to hear his thoughts 🤔
This wine was the paired perfect with a brief storm rolling in at the end of a fabulous beach day! 🍾🥂🏖☀️🌩🙌🏻
has a fabulous wine club, of which I have been a member for many years. I really believe that wine clubs are one of the best ways to support the wine makers and independent retailers that you love. Cheers!🥂

Now let me bore you with all my holiday pics! No, just joking! I will stick with the natty wines pics, which are NEVER boring.
First up, goes to the seaside. Perfect day at the beach and we were LOVING a lunch of last nights leftover pizza perfect paired with Bubbles! 🍾🥂🍕☀️🏖
You can find this on the website. And if you are a fan of Yetti and the Kokonut don’t forget to check the Bundles section! Bubbles, Hipster Juice, and Mt Savagnin for just $75

Very soon we are packing up and taking a short break!!! 🍾🥂🥳🎉🌈🦄
So the burning question is……..what wine will we be taking????
This is not a quick, simple decision. Oh no, this is hours, possibly days in the planning. However, I feel that my first MUST HAVE is Syrah Rosé. Why, you may ask. Because it’s perfectly delicious! My very favourite of favourites! 😍😍😍
PS taking a break will unfortunately mean some short delays with shipping next week. So I thank all of my fellow natty wine lovers in advance for their understanding and patience 🙏🏻😘🥂

This looks and tastes amazing!!! Sparkling Sub is pink fizz perfection. Fresh, fruity, with the acidity you want and that dry finish that makes you come back for more. Absolute crowd pleaser! 🍾🥂🥳🌈🦄
You can find it now on the website at $34 per bottle. Or maybe it’s part of The Mixed Bag 6 Pack????? Available until tomorrow noon for the ridiculous price of $130! 🤔😎

I am lucky enough to have 4 amazing in stock at the moment! 🤩🤩🤩

Can be found on the website individually, or as a 4 Pack at $95!
The Fumé Blanc and super small batch Mamacita as a 2 Pack at $47 😘

Today while I was rummaging about checking stock, I found 2 bottles of Yummy Juice! This is officially the first miracle of 2022!!! 🍾🥂✨🎉🌈🦄
I have a feeling that I may have tucked them away to enjoy myself, but that is simply hearsay
As the name suggests, this is yummy! Tropical fruits and acidity, balanced with delicate creaminess, and the perfect fizz
So first in best dressed. Or if you believe that I should be the beneficiary of this miracle, then so be it! 🥂

It became impossible to resist! Popping this Bianco from up on the website and posting it today had me actually wondering if it was as good as I remembered? 🤔
So there was only one thing to do really……the right thing! 😎
Pop a bottle in the fridge to chill l down and taste it again 🤷🏻‍♀️
Freaking sensation! The only thing I may have previously overlooked is the rich creaminess before the dry finish. It is THAT good 🤩

Well, I really don’t know where to start. There is nothing not to love about this creation 2021 Bianco. A 50/50 blend of Fiano and Greco. It has the skinsy, textural mouth feel of a typical orange wine, but has the added funkiness and fizz of a Pet -Nat. It’s fresh and fruity and loads of fun! Plus, I totally adore the label!
You can find it on the website at $27 per bottle. I think it would make a great 3 pack with the Lambruscos??? Message me if you think so too! 😘

When I think disco I naturally think Saturday, for obvious reasons. So this gloriously muggy Saturday afternoon, with the smell of potential rain in the air was the perfect time to try Disco Puppy 2 from 🍾🥂🕺🏻💃🏻🤩
And I am pleased to say, my instincts were bang on! Cracked the well chilled bottle and poured myself a glass, and settled myself on the deck to watch the storm roll in.
All gooseberry and stone fruit, with ripping acidity, and a zippy fizz!
The sour note is not to MrB’s taste (the crowd sighs), but I find it irresistible! And MrB says I love the sour because I am too sweet already 😂
Anyway, you can find it on the website 😘

I would like to introduce you to a couple of very special and unique wines!
Based in Mclaren Vale are a small family run vineyard, completely sustainable, and producing some phenomenal wines.
The first is the 2021 Mamachita Petillant 😍😍😍 Big orange and clove. Vibrant and lively with a rounded finish. Under 100 bottles released, so if you love your pet-nats, I strongly recommend you try this one before it’s gone forever.
The second is the 2021 Fumé Blanc Piquette 🤩🤩🤩 Now this is for the enthusiast not for the faint hearted. Big herbaceous notes balanced with Nashi Pear. Crisp and clean with a ripping minerality.

I don’t know about you but it’s Thursday and I am still obsessed with Lambrusco! I will reiterate that, in my opinion, Tim Ward creates a freaking magic Lambrusco ✨🍷🤩🎉🌈🦄
The 100% Maestri is bold and dry and will stand up against the stinkiest soft cheese. While the Rosé blend is soft and delicate and begging to be drank solo, in the sunshine, with friends, or not.
Both so different and both so delicious! It would be cruel of me to make you choose. So they now come in a handy 2 pack for $40! 😘

Yes the celebration continues!!!
The new Disco Puppy 2 Pet-Nat and the 2021 Ruby Rosé have arrived! 🤩🍾🥂🥳🌈🦄
Plus we also have a few of our favourite 2020 Pippa Pet-Nat still available! 💛💛💛
Head to the website for the details 😘
Let me know if you want to try all three and we can put together a pack!

Lambrusco is back baby!!! (Happy Dance)
Love Lambrusco?? Me too!!
And once again creates Lambrusco freaking magic!
Head to the website for the 2021 100% Maestri and the Rosé blend. Stunning style and absolute crowd pleasers, and at $24 a bottle they are amazing bang for your buck! 🍾🥂🥳🎉🌈🦄

Best gift with wine subscription EVA!!!!

Thank you for the
Can’t wait to surprise MrB with this!🍻🥳🌈🦄
I wonder if he’ll object to playing catch up and drinking two beers this afternoon??? 🤔😜🤣

I am equally impressed with this Pet-Nat from !!! 🤩🤩🤩
Loving the small batch numbered bottles, the cool labels featuring the artwork of and most of all loving the deliciousness of the wines! 🍾🥂🥰🌈🦄

I am really excited to introduce you to the first of four new Pet-Nats from amazing friends !!!
🍾🥂🤩🥳🦄🌈
Owners/Winemakers Brad and Kendra Cameron have been in the small batch, minimal intervention winemaking biz for six years, but this year is first they have included Petillants! They are the real deal. Sustainability grown grapes, and a winery 100% solar powered. Fruits are lightly and lovingly pressed using minimal machinery
I was eager to get my hands on these wines, even without tasting. For me Camwell represents everything that is so exciting about wine.
The first is a Skinsy Chardonnay and it looks fabulous and tastes delicious! Loads of tropical fruit aroma and on the palate. Fantastic textural mouth feel and finishes dry as a bone
Extremely small batch so stock is very limited. Will be making its debut on the website tomorrow, but feel free to message me if you want to secure a bottle or two 😘

Now this fabulous little number is not one of mine, but it is delicious, and I can tell you where to find it! 😊
This Pet-Nat from is a co-ferment of and which gives loads of frosty fruit vibes, it’s passionfruity with a hint of doughy creaminess, balanced by ripping acidity. And in retrospect I should have heeded the warning to open over the sink, as it was indeed lively!💥🍾🥂🥰
You can find this beauty and discover a myriad of funky and fabulous things to tempt you in
It’s a gorgeous space, with awesome staff, and an enormous range, featuring lots and lots of locals! 🤩🤩🤩
