An inspiring cover story here by Katie Spain about flying winemaker John Weeks who has fought back from a devastating accident that nearly claimed his life... “Children have optimism without bias, and it’s such a magnificent thing. They are not only innocent and curious but essentially happy. In short, everything adults wish they could be.” Story by @katiespainwrites Photos by @macmahonimages Design by @naomigiatasdesign WBM is proudly independent and family owned.

Kosciusko Tumbarumba Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay Pinot Meunier 2022 scores 92 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A pretty and perky sparkling wine with enough savoury, brioche and cinnamon toasty savouriness to deliver the word ‘complex’ into the friskier, aperitif freshness of the wine. Grapefruit, tonic water, green apple crunch and a squeeze of lime here too. A touch of toastiness lingers. Good, persistent fizz too. Nicely done all up.” $40. @kosciuszko_wines @tumbarumbawine #pretty #perky #wine #92 🙌
