The di Lusso Estate Mudgee


Parla come mangi! – Speak the language of your food
"Over the years, since the early 1990's in fact, I'm beginning to think, and more importantly TALK about wine and food like an Italian. First it was grapes and olives, then figs I 'had' to grow on my farm; then herbs and vegetables. Earlier this year it was saffron. From February I'm 'going locavore' with the wine-tasting food I serve in my winery."

There’s Grappa, then there’s Poli Grappa!


In Northern Veneto is one of Italy’s most beautiful villages – Bossano del Grappa. It’s also the ancestral home of Grappa, and home to the world’s finest Grappa producer, Poli. In the town is an amazing Grappa museum, filled with massive copper stills, a two hundred year old production line, and whole range of Grappa styles for tasting and buying. Oh, and Poli Grappa tastes a smooth as silk - nothing like the gut-rot stuff so often offered at restaurants here. (if you refer to this post – and are over eighteen! – I’ll give you a sip from my Poli favourite!)
