the Press release


The Free Run: the juice that runs off the vat without any machine pressing, obtained by the sheer weight of the grapes pushing on each other. An apt name for a new blog about Australian wine from an amateur's experience. I love wine, am curious enough to explore, and then write about it (no pressure!).

So I don't get caught up in a narrow experience of wine consumption, the challenge is to expose my palette to the variety and the personalities of different Australian wines. Every project should have objectives, so let's start with 1) to sample 2) to learn more about making wine, it's history etc; 3) to get to know the people and the industry.

Righty-o. Business over. Let the fun begin. Cheers!
