This is our go to dinner in my home. If you haven’t had beef cheeks then you are missing out! Granted this recipe takes a little time to make but the beauty of it is it freezes AWESOMELY.
"Lambascioni" is pickled onions, and with melt-in-your-mouth lamb it's just magic. What a treat for a Sunday roast!
Cheeky and rich winter warmer. Will hold it's own against a McLaren Vale or Barossa Shiraz.
Looking for something to stand up to that big, bad red? Look here. And throw some garlic mash on the side.
winter staple in the boss' household. It's hearty, delicious and is a great excuse to open a bottle of red wine in the middle of the day!
Sharing a winemaker with Dandelion Vineyards is Heirloom which began it’s life in the 2000 vintage with the intention of making exceptional wines from primarily old vineyards, planted to the best clones and embracing organic and biodynamic principles. They create wines from the McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra which almost always pick up a bunch of gold medals and often trophies. At time of writing our selection of these fabulous wines shows 32 gold medals and 3 trophies.

Elena originally hails from Lyaskovets, Bulgaria, a small town famous for its wine. She is a qualified winemaker, BSc (Oenology) Adelaide and has made wine for various Australian Wineries as well as being a consultant winemaker to a number of leading wine companies in Spain, Italy and Bulgaria.
Born to a MIG Fighter Pilot and Helicopter Mechanic (both of whom happened to be involved in the wine industry in Lyaskovets), Elena's interest in winemaking stemmed from time spent translating for Australian Winemakers Stephen Bennet, David Norman, Dylan Rhymer, Kym Milne MW and others, who worked at her mother's winery between '93 and '98.
With Stephen Bennet’s support and her family’s encouragement, Elena made the move to Australia and started studying winemaking at Adelaide University in 1998, graduating in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science (Oenology). (Elena’s mum was keen on this noting that all winemakers did was meet in the morning in their lab coats, taste some wines, drink some coffee, have a chat, then go out to luncheon.)
Locally Elena worked vintages at Patritti Wines and Hardy’s Tintara and was the winemaker at Geoff Merrill Wines, La Curio, Maxwell Wines and others in McLaren Vale as well as the various wineries of Farnese throughout Italy and Fratelli Urciuolo in Campagna.
Elena became an Australian citizen in 2006 and married typist Zar Brooks in 2007 after meeting at the Royal Adelaide Wine Show judging in 2000. As a ‘trophy wife’ Elena helped make a Jimmy Watson Trophy winner in 2005, the winner of The Great Australian Shiraz Challenge the same year, won the trophy at Decanter World Wine Awards for best ‘Rhone style Red’ in 2007 and made the Best red wine for the Gambero Rosso Guide in 2008. Elena also won trophies for Dandelion Vineyards (Elena's own wine company) in the wineries’ first year
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.
