3 4 5

Last Wednesday was excellent. Exactly as WoW was intended. Later on, on a Wednesday, after work is done for the day, five people happened upon a great little basement bar serving wine and food to enjoy a quiet sip and chat. Hope you can join us next time.


Brisbane Supper Club Wine Boutique is certainly one to try. Out of the way, it's a fantastic little space down the stairs. Although not a huge number of patrons last week, it's not big so will fill up (in fact their wine tasting this week has 60 people going... that's busy). Regarding their wines - we tried the Mornington Pinot Noir, Ocean Eight (from those who brought us Kooyong), just received in that day. Not bad. Then, a Malbec from Mendoza in Argentina in aid of an upcoming trip to South America. Solid also. We finished with the best? It was a lovely, smooth, chocolatey aptly named Undercover Shiraz from McLaren Vale by Petaringa - a solid drinking and value wine. All, the perfect warming reds on a winter's night and lubricated conversation just enough - three bottles between five people seemed the perfect storm in fact. As for the food, unluckily the kitchen was closed, but the menu read very well, and the bruschetta and bread and olive oil and caramelised balsamic we convinced Sheldon to give us was superb.
