Talking Wine

Wine Shows

By Jen Pfeiffer

Ever wondered what's behind those little gold, silver and bronze stickers you sometimes see displayed on a bottle of wine?

Are they simply another tool of marketing, enticing you to buy that particular wine?

Cabernet Sauvignon

By Jen Pfeiffer

Last night, I had a couple of glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon, which got me thinking about the variety.

Cooking with Wine

By Jen Pfeiffer

I got a great little magnet recently – some of you may have seen it – it reads "I love cooking with wine; sometimes I even put it in the food"!!!! Inspired by this magnet, I thought I should discuss the topic of cooking with wine.

Gamay

By Jen Pfeiffer

Every year on the Sunday before the Melbourne Cup, Pfeiffer Wines celebrates the release of our current vintage Gamay, with the Pfeiffer Pfrolic on the Sunday Creek Bridge. We brunch into lunch into afternoon tea, the Gamay flows and everyone has a wonderful time!

Pruning

By Jen Pfeiffer

As I am writing this, a blustering wind is blowing outside, rain is threatening and it definitely, definitely is cold out there. Sure feels like winter to me, and winter in the vineyard is the time when the grape vines are in dormancy and need to be pruned.

Shiraz

By Jen Pfeiffer

Research taken has shown that Australians drink approximately 25 litres of wine per person per year. That doesn't seem like much to me, but I don't think I'm the average wine drinker!!

Sparkling Wines

By Jen Pfeiffer

At Christmas time more than any other time of the year, we hear the pop of the Champagne or sparkling wine cork. Most of us use the term Champagne for all forms of sparkling wine, but did you know that by law, the term "Champagne", is reserved only for wines produced in the Champagne region in the north east of France?

Textural White Wines

By Jen Pfeiffer

When I think of texture in white wines, I think of varieties such as Chardonnay, Marsanne and Viognier. These wines are more full bodied than aromatic whites, and can be paired with more robust flavours in our cooking.

What Wine Do I Drink With Chocolate?

By Jen Pfeiffer

Some say it can't be done – pairing wine and chocolate – but when you have the right chocolate with the right wine, it can be a match made in heaven!!!!

Vintage

By Jen Pfeiffer

Well it’s almost that time of year again – make or break time in the winery, our harvest or vintage as we call it in the industry. Vintage only comes round once per year, so as a winemaker, it is the one chance for the year to make all the wine required for sales until the next vintage.
