*NEW ARTICLE* [Post-taste] Cabernet Cartel: An offer you can’t refuse?
These are my reflections on a thoroughly original, ambitious and provocative tasting and conversation on what Robert Mann’s grandfather called “the only grape tolerated in heaven”.
This event, masterminded by Rob’s partner in life and work
@corymbiawine Gen Mann and supported by
@winesofwa , was co-hosted by Rob and his great friend
@julianlangworthy of
@nocturne_sv_ and
@deepwoodsestate .
This complex wine—what surgeon, author and Hunter Valley vigneron Max Lake termed “the exquisite paradox’—offers so much to get your head and heart around. I think you’ll find a lot of it here, with wines from Wendouree,
@chateaurauzansegla ,
@juniperwines ,
@foresthillwines ,
@yeringberg , Ansted & Osicka, Sassicaia,
@wynnscoonawarra and
@woodlandswines .

As always, if you like what you find, please like, share, comment—it mightn’t seem like much, but it goes a long way to promoting originality, diversity and hope in our storytelling scene.
