Your P.S.
Hi, I'm Amelia Birch, Your Personalised Sommelier. Understand your palate. Buy the wine you love.
Hello!! Well, it’s been a long time between pics, but for good reason…I’m super excited to share that my new wine bar and bottle shop - Famelia - is opening on Enmore Road in Newtown, next week! You can check out all the reno progress to date at .wine and bookings are open online (link in bio) www.famelia.com.au
Famelia will be the new home for all .p.s wedding tastings, and where we will pick and pack your subscription boxes. Plus a few other notable things which I’ll share in the coming weeks!
Big thanks for all the support so far, this shop is a looooong time coming, so feeling very grateful (also terrified!) but mostly excited to see you all there! Amelia x
Wedding season is starting again!! 🪩
Have you considered a Champagne Tower? What about a Pet Nat Tower? Or a Cocktail Tower! So. Much. Fun. To. Be. Had.
Get in touch with .p.s for everything you need to nail your wedding bevs. There’s a whole lot more to it than winging it at Dan’s the week before…
Amelia can save you:
⏱️ time wasted on choosing, purchasing and delivering
💰 money wasted on crap wine and overbuying
😬 anxiety around whether your guests will like it/drink it, and whether you’ll have enough/too much!
And give you:
🍷 wine that your guests will be raving about for years
📦 ideal quantities for your group
🪩 creative suggestions for keeping 8 hours of drinking FUN!
If you’re getting married this year at a BYO venue and want some wedding wine/drinks assistance, book a wine tasting with Your Personal Sommelier - Amelia - in Surry Hills, Sydney to get started!

Some brightness for you on this gloomy day. Aren’t Poppies the most incredible flowers?! 🥀
Hey, it’s Abby here. I work with Amelia 👋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before I started working at Your P.S., I firmly believed that white wine was not for me. I thought I’d tried it all, and no matter what the price tag I just couldn’t bring myself to enjoy it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Day one on the job, Amelia whips out a bottle of Bella Ridge Chenin Blanc for me to take home and try (yes, I have the greatest job ever!). All she knew was that I loved all things fizzy - particularly a funky pet nat.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh. My. Goodness… it was sooo delicious! I'm now a white wine convert and Chenin Blancs are a staple in my P.S. wine subscription box 🙌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’d like to give Chenin Blanc a try too, we have a killer one available on our website now (2fourteen link in bio)... or you can sign up for one of our subscriptions if you'd like Amelia to work her magic and introduce you to your own new faves!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

2fourteen - drops today at 2.14pm
Amelia’s fortnightly favourite wine, available to buy in VERY limited quantities of 2 bottles!
Today’s first drop is a beauty, and there’s only 4 boxes available…don’t miss out…!!
“2.14” - a new P.S. product, dropping Tuesday 23 May at 2.14pm 🚨
Super dooper excited to launch this new product - “2.14”!
2.14 is a 2-pack of my favourite bottle of wine for the fortnight (hence, "2.14"). A wine I've tasted and am in LOVE with, that I want to share, but that is priced a little higher than the wine you might get in a subscription box.
The wine in the 2.14 will be delicious - always a must; special - from a producer doing something interesting or notable; and limited - sometimes the last case of the vintage.
Here's how it'll work:
🍷 The 2.14 is only available in packs of two - two (2) bottles of my fave wine for the fortnight (14), available to purchase from 2.14pm AEST every second Tuesday.
🍷 Very limited quantities will be available - sometimes I'll only have 2 or 3 boxes available to sell.
🍷 Each 2.14 box will be a different price - the price of two bottles of the specific wine inside.
🍷 Once it's gone, it's gone. Don't miss out!
The first 2.14 wine drop will take place on Tuesday 23 May at 2.14pm. Stay tuned on Insta, or sign up to our newsletter via the website yourps.co (link in bio)
In excited anticipation,
Amelia x
Your P.S.
P.S. so excited to share some pics I did recently with the brilliant ❤️
I am obsessed with Select. I can’t hold it in any longer. It’s my go-to Saturday-arvo (edit: any arvo, who am I kidding) thirst quencher 🙌 and I want you to love it too!!
If you’re a fan of Aperol, or Campari, you’re half way there - I’d say it’s in between the two in terms of flavour and bitterness. Think spices, citrus, berries, it’s a serious win-win. Be prepared to not go back…
My recipe is:
30ml Select
90ml Prosecco
Over ice
Slice of lemon, lime or orange
= Heaven!
You’ll find the Select Spritz Box available to buy or gift on the website now! yourps.co/products/select-spritz-box
Anyone who’s had one before and wants to let me know what they think in the comments, please do!!
Coupla new Petty’s to crack over the long weekend 🙌🥂

These bad girls are going in to hand-selected Your Personal Sommelier] subscriptions this week!
FYI - RRP is $37 + $59 respectively (retail not even restaurant price), in a subby you get them for ~ $30…

🚨NEW PRODUCT ALERT🚨
Move over Aperol, ‘Select’ is in the building! If you haven’t tried your new fave drink yet, don’t delay. The sun is shining again, the time is now!
‘Select’, a Venetian Aperitivo, is seriously a game changer. To me it’s a mix between Aperol and Campari - super bitter and dry, but still with the robust citrusy and spicy flavours. It’s incredibly refreshing and a nice little kicker to get the arvo started.
I drink it 2 parts Select, 3 parts Prosecco over ice, with a slice of orange or a salty briney green olive…you might like to add a splash of soda to smooth it out a little.
Our ‘Select Spritz Box’ is online now via the link in bio. Order before Easter Friday for FREE shipping - use the code - SELECTME!
When you ask a 10yo to take a BTS photo…
Looking forward to sharing the profesh pics from our little shoot this morning with ❤️
Happy sunny Sunday!!
…and whilst you’re at it, why not pour yourself an extra glass for that extra hour you gained?!
It also means you now have permission to start drinking reds again at room temp 😅
What are you secretly/not-so-secretly looking forward to opening up again now that the weather is cooling down…?
Get excited!
Our fave drink is going to be your new fave drink. We know it.
Stay tuned over the next week as it hits the (online) shelves.

Amelia will treat you to some funky drops - you’ll learn about varietals that are delish but not our typical go-to’s - all enjoyed with a selection of cheeses. It’s pretty fun!
This Domaine Saint-Cyr Gamay Pét-Nat is like Christmas in a glass. Fruity, fizzy, fresh. Perfect on a hot Summer’s day! Great with some prawns, great with chips and dips, great to cut through a pav, also just great on its own! It’s a dinky-di Christmas Day must-have 🥂
Try it in a ‘Pét-Nat’ Box, online now (link in bio), or add it to your flexible subscription! If nothing else, send me a DM about it and I’ll get some out to you.
Anyway, it’s Friday night, what are you drinking?

+ Mixed dehydrated citrus
Delivered in a P.S. mailer box, complimentary gift card!
$100, with free shipping until 30 Nov using SHIP4FREE
Another fun Christmas gift idea…the ‘Bizzaro’ Aperitivo Box!
Aperol made aperitivo-time popular, served with some Prosecco and soda, the Bizzaro is a funky twist on the old Aperol.
Where Aperol is sweet and orangey, Bizzaro is dry and spice-y (think cinnamon, allspice, orange rind etc.) and kind of reminds me of drinking a mead…
Instead of Prosecco, I’ve put in a ‘pink’ pét-nat, and some dehydrated citrus. Serve over ice! It’s a fun gift for someone who loves a spritz or a gin!
Check it out on the webby now, link in bio. Free shipping until Nov 30 with the code SHIP4FREE.
I’m all about pét-nat’s at the moment. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, read on because they’re worth knowing about!
Pét-nat’s are basically fizzy grape juice made from any grape varietal, which just makes so much sense, right?!
Completely different from a clean Champagne, pét-nat’s are more like a dry cider than anything and hark back to ancient winemaking techniques. They’re typically unfiltered and unfined, and the fizz comes from the natural gasses produced during the fermentation process.
So, if you’re a Gamay fan (like me), then finding a Gamay pét-nat is quite thrilling! Chill that bad boy down, pop it, and serve with some chicken liver pate. Boom!
I’m loving seeing how winemakers are finding such unique ways of expressing their own style, and the terroir through their pét-nat’s.
To celebrate, I’ve popped a ‘Pét-Nat’ Box on the webby in anticipation of Christmas. It includes 2 bottles of some of my fave pét-nat’s.
Free shipping until Nov 30 using the code SHIP4FREE, so get your Christmas orders in now! Link in bio!
