Well done to our WBM cover boy Nick Ryan - winning the Best Short Form Writing award in the 67 Pall Mall Global Wine Communicator Awards in London. @67pall_mall The world beater got kicked out of university. What for? “Never going. Do you know how lazy you have to be to get thrown out of an Arts degree? I paid HECS on subjects I never even knew I was doing. If I couldn’t get a really good park near uni, I would just keep driving and go home. I was lazy. I was a bit directionless.” - July/August edition of WBM - Australia’s Wine Business Magazine.

Best’s Great Western Bin No 0 Shiraz 2021 scores 96 points from Tyson Stelzer. “The cool 2021 season has drawn out an excitingly elegant take on Best’s fabled Bin 0, heightening the characteristic white pepper and exotic spice of Great Western. I love the seamless, fine-boned texture of this release, with powder-fine tannins setting an effortless palate flow that glides through a finish of exceptional drive and enduring longevity.” $85. @bestswines ❤️🍷
