Haselgrove have been around in various guises for more than 30 years, really hitting their straps the last few. The quality of the wines and packaging has improved substantially. James Halliday listed them as one of his “Ten Dark Horses” in 2015. They are making cracking good booze and their offerings are likely to continue to improve.

Grenache - the oldest new world wine ever!
Tapas and Temp go together like love and marriage, Helen Mirren and Oscar nominations, Shane Watson and LBW's.
I love the name, it could be the bad guy in a poorly shot western movie but instead it's yet another recipe from yours truly that the Heart Foundation has tried to censor.
Take a couple of chicken breasts and butterfly them. Add 2 crushed garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons of smoked hot Spanish pimento to chicken stock and simmer the breasts with until just cooked through.
You might remember the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes - in which a couple of impoverished tailors convince a preening peacock Emperor that they can make him the most fabulous set of threads in the universe. They also tell him that those too stupid or unsuited to their roles within the court won’t be able to see them. They don’t actually make any clothes and the King is too insecure to call them on it, as is his court and the populace who he parades in front of starkers. Nice kit champ!
You gotta love the classics - a true classic will be a true classic forever! It will ride the waves of trends and bide it’s time until the next generation discovers it in their Mum and Dad's record collection or cellar - who then go on to painfully tell their parents how they discovered it and how cool it is.
Those who have been enjoying Spanish wines or Rhone blends for years will already know of the classic varietal I’m taking the long road around to. It, like so many classics, has been rediscovered over the last little while and is enjoying a resurgence in popularity that is seeing it bust out from cult hero status at the local pub open-mic night to front and centre in stadiums, thrusting and twerking on its own headline tour. The humble varietal Garnacha or Grenache as we know it.
Less than 40km south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale is another one of South Australia's renowned Shiraz producers, accounting for roughly 50% of grapes crushed annually.
