2010 Richard Hamilton Lot 148 Merlot2009 Pertaringa Understudy Cabernet Petit Verdot2007 Tim Adams Cabernet Malbec2011 Paxton Quandong Farm Single Vineyard Shiraz

With winter coming Reds are generally the choice for ‘riding out the storm’ as it were. Each of these will do the job quite nicely thanks very much. They might even taste better listening to rain splotching on a galv or tin roof with Ray Manzarek’s eerily rain like keyboards from ‘Riders on the Storm’ pattering in the background.

2010 St John's Road Blood and Courage Shiraz2010 Barossa Cleanskin Reserve Shiraz2010 Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon2010 Richard Hamilton Lot 148 Merlot

We ain’t never put a cleanskin in a pack before, never mind the precious "first red pack of the month". But it is too good to ignore. Tasting panel consensus on the cleanskin reserve Barossa Shiraz: Glorious. We can’t tell you who made it, only that it is staggeringly good, essentially forcing us to include it. Rest of the wines are pretty darn flash too … check em out.

Angels Bay Sunset Red2008 Henry's Drive Morse Code Padthaway Red Blend2007 Tim Adams Cabernet Malbec2010 Madeleine's Nangkita Shiraz2010 Gemtree Gemstone Shiraz2011 Leconfield Woven Leaf Shiraz2012 Hardys Riddle Shiraz Cabernet2010 Willowglen Cabernet Merlot

Great names here including Gemtree, Henry’s Drive, Leconfield, Hardy’s and De Bortoli. We’ve got a gold medal winner, a James Halliday 94 pointer and most of the wines included come from wineries James Halliday has rated 5 stars.

2010 Schoenthal Estate Reserve Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon2009 Deviation Road Reserve Shiraz2007 Tim Adams The Fergus2010 Brands Laira Cabernet Merlot2008 Murray Street Vineyards The Barossa2010 Willunga 100 Shiraz Viognier2009 Thorn Clarke Kabininge Vineyard Cabernet Franc

New entries in this edition include Murray Street's supple and delicious ‘Barossa’, a Thorn Clarke single vineyard special release, a stunning Reserve Barossa Cabernet and Triple Trophy Winning McLaren Vale Shiraz Blend.

2008 Mountadam Eden Estate Chardonnay2011 Grant Burge Thorn Eden Valley Riesling2011 Schild Estate Unwooded Chardonnay2009 Pertaringa Bonfire Block Semillon

We all love the Doors covering the Big Joe Williams classic ‘Baby Please Don’t Go’ but perhaps Elmer Fudd covering Light my Fire is a step too far? Either way the tasting panel's fire was lit by all of the wines in this pack. The Schild Chardy which punches well above its weight, Grant Burge’s lime laden Rizza, Mountadam’s gloriously evergreen Eden Chardonnay and Pertaringa’s beguiling Semillon - a bit like Elmer, the Sem is certainly not considered fashionable and unlike our fave celluloid bacon precursor, it should be an icon - it is that tasty…

2011 Heirloom Vineyards Barossa Shiraz2010 Heartland Shiraz2011 Paxton Quandong Farm Single Vineyard Shiraz2010 Paracombe The Reuben2010 Schoenthal Estate Reserve Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon2011 Paxton AAA Shiraz Grenache2010 Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon2009 Deviation Road Reserve Shiraz

‘Break on Through’ which launched the Door's rise to fame was also the last track they played live, so maybe it’s fitting that we have bookended this pack with 2 equally excellent reds - Paxton's Quandong Shiaz and the Schoenthal Reserve Cabernet. The analogy falls flat in that the other 6 wines that make up this 8-pack are rippers too. Sorry.

2008 Mountadam Eden Estate Chardonnay2012 Tyrrell's Brookdale Semillon2012 Kilikanoon Killerman's Run Riesling2006 Patrick of Coonawarra Aged Riesling2012 Leconfield Old Vine Riesling2009 Pertaringa Bonfire Block Semillon

A Doors B side but very well regarded. So while whites take a backseat to reds over the colder months we know plenty of you still want to talk about and consume them. So here’s 6 of our favourite whites at the mo, including a Riesling which is in the running for Winestate’s wine of the year (Leconfield), the tasting panel's favourite Riesling of the last 12 motnhs (Patrick), favourite Chardonnay (Mountadam) and most underrated white (Pertaringa). Love.

2010 Bird in Hand Two in the Bush Chardonnay2011 The Lane Block 10 Sauvignon Blanc2010 Three Buckets Wooded Chardonnay2012 St John's Road Pretty and Pure Sauvignon Blanc

We are big fans of the Adelaide Hills and it’s wines, so here’s a handful of the good stuff from some of our fave producers. These drink well right now and make for a great start to a night where the food and company are of a standard which is pleasing to you.

2011 Schild Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc2007 Tim Adams Bayes Block Riesling2011 Schild Estate Unwooded Chardonnay2010 Bird in Hand Two in the Bush Chardonnay2012 Richard Hamilton Sauvignon Blanc Semillon2012 Willowglen Chardonnay2010 Willowglen Riesling2012 Hardys Riddle Sauvignon Blanc

A great mix of whites and fantastic value with names like Bird in Hand, Hardys, Schild Estate, Hamilton, Tim Adams and De Bortoli…

2012 Paracombe Pinot Gris2011 Tinpot Hut Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc2010 Three Buckets Wooded Chardonnay2011 Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Rousanne2006 Patrick of Coonawarra Aged Riesling2012 Dandelion Riesling2012 Leconfield Old Vine Riesling

More highlights from the tasting panel with Trophy winning Riesling from Patrick, Three Bucket's succulent Chardonnay and Paracombe’s structured and peary Pinot Gris, to name a few. All wines received the tasting panels drool of approval.

2011 Grant Burge Thorn Eden Valley Riesling2010 Zonte's Footstep Lake Doctor Shiraz2010 Madeleine's Nangkita Shiraz2012 Richard Hamilton Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

A mixed selection of the best value whites and reds we have at the moment. Whether it's the citrus and floral blossom bouquet of the Burge Riesling, the white pepper, blackberries and pudding of the Zonte's Shiraz, the massive but balanced Madeleine's Shiraz or the lively and citrusy Hamilton SSB, you'll love all these wines...game, set and food-match.

2011 Massena Barbera2008 Henry's Drive Morse Code Padthaway Red Blend2009 Pertaringa Bonfire Block Semillon2010 Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon2011 Schild Estate Unwooded Chardonnay2012 Richard Hamilton Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

A brand spanking new value selection averaging $10 per bottle. No ringers here, all lovely wines and great drinking. Includes wines from Massena, Pertaringa, Geoff Hardy, Richard Hamilton, Schild Estate and Henry’s Drive…all exceptional boutique producers. Each of these wines got a big thumbs up on the tasting panel and can be drunk now or salted away for a year or 2.

2011 Schild Estate Unwooded Chardonnay2012 Willowglen Chardonnay2010 Willowglen Riesling2011 Richard Hamilton Blown Away ShirazAngels Bay Sunset Red2008 Goode Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon

4 and 5 star producers here in this selection designed for current consumption. The tasting panel enjoyed each of these wines for their generous fruit and all round tastiness. The Goode Barossa Cab is particularly tasty and the Schild Estate Chardonnay is definitely an unsung hero.
