Musings of a vinous mind.
There’s many wines in the world. Too many. My musings are inspired by lovely people doing interesting things in surprising places. They lead you to wines that make you stop and think.
Where, how and why do you choose a wine? Please tell us, we’d love to know.

Limestone Coast, South Australia
Many people don’t know that Coonawarra is part of the Limestone Coast wine region, which has several sub-regions located in the southern-most corner of South Australia, just by the Victorian border. Cabernet is a wonderful thing, and Coonawarra Cabernet is a classic but it’s no longer just Cabernet or Coonawarra creating conversation, for whilst Coonawarra might be the most famous sub-region in the region, dare I say it, it might be the least exciting now. I chatted to Lauren Hansen whose own story symbolises perfectly the changing tide of this far-flung region, where tradition and innovation jostle at each other’s side.
