FIRST PRIZE (2 half dozen wine packs)
"Hand made by our hands" is the philosophy of Tilbrook Estate based in the beautiful Lenswood region of the Adelaide Hills. This month two lucky winners will get to personally taste the results of this creed with a half dozen bottles of Tilbrook Estate Sangiovese Cabernet 2006.
Winemaker James Tilbrook had enviable early summer holidays cycling around the wine regions of France which stirred him to take a trip to Australia and a lifelong journey with the vine. Not surprising then that the Tilbrook vineyard is French inspired with close planted vines terracing across steep slopes. Win these wines and see just how far the French influence is reflected in its depths.
Enter now and you could be sipping on these in August! SECOND PRIZE (3 copies )
Planning on following the No Leave, No Life campaign and taking a short break soon? Win a copy of Good Weekends Away and you'll quickly have a short - or maybe long - list of choices. With over 100 places reviewed of all styles and budgets for couples, families and friends, planning a good weekend break will be much easier with this guide in hand. And even though most are in NSW and Victoria, winners from other states will find it a very handy guide to planning that extra long weekend away and perhaps finding some hidden treasures in the "best of" picks in their home states.
The properties in Good Weekends Away are reviewed by journalists from The Age, Sydney Morning Herald and Good Weekend and the reviews not only include their experiences in each place but come with ratings,costings, website details and other useful information so you'll have all the right information at your finger-tips. You'll only need to choose where, when and who with!
THIRD PRIZE (4 copies)
Win Taste Food & Wine 2009 by Matthew Jukes and Tyson Stelzer and you'll have an amazingly accessible wine guide on your bookshelf. In the introduction they commit to "help you eat and drink better, broaden your wine horizons and amaze your taste buds". It's a big call but Matthew and Tyson deliver in this easy to use guide which covers the best wines for 2009, a section on food and wine matching and the removable dust jacket that doubles as a handy pocket reference. There's also a wealth of other related information - serving wine, tracking down that favourite wine and some low-down on great Australian reds and New Zealand pinots.
Want to know what these wine gurus are talking about? Flick to page 335 for the A-Z code-breaker of wine lingo. Learn just what is meant when a wine is described as meaty, supple, grassy or yeasty and whether that's a good thing or perhaps not so great feature.
Taste Food & Wine 2009 is very down-to-earth and often elicits a chuckle at the easily understood descriptions. It also offers the pronunciation of various wine styles - handy at the dinner party to setttle the argument over how to say sangiovese, viognier or nebbiolo!
