Over the years I have been an avid
supporter of the Australian Wine Industry.
Particularly during the school vacations or holidays. This fondness was
cemented during my early twenties when, the fancy thing that I was, would scoff
a the thought of quaffing from a giant cask of Coolabah, preferring to spend my
cash on the two litre variety of boxed wine offered up by Yalumba.
As I moved on in life, my palate changed
and I got to the point where I just could not stomach any sweet wine
whatsoever. Or boxed wine. I got fancy, somewhere along the track.
Even now, I don’t mind saying that I am a
wine snob. I have gone through phases where I was into Riesling, the
chardonnay, then I spent a fair bit of time swimming around in Sauvignon blanc
but now, I am more open yet discerning with my choice.
I am of the opinion, that if I am going to
ingest the calories, it has got to be worth it.
When Lorraine the Super Agent asked whether
I would like to work with a Wine Business, I think I actually came back with
the sentence….
“DER.”
For there is nothing more than I
adore that a cold glass of white, maybe with an antipasto platter and a few
mates thrown in. Care
for a Chianti? DWC distribute the Sensi brand, the world’s number one selling
variety of Chianti, including their organic version. This was Mr. Woog’s
favourite.
It is amazing how many friends you can get
to come and taste wine with you!
About Direct Wine Cellars.
Direct Wine Cellars is the
brainchild of a dynamic, young, Australian couple with a passion for wine from
all over the world. After travelling Western Europe, enjoying the grapes of all
regions, falling more in love with the art of wine every day, they decided it
was time to come home to Australia and introduce the Australian public to top
quality wine from their favorite wine region of Tuscany.
A year later, Direct Wine
Cellars was born. We Promise delicious TUSCAN wine, value for money,
huge savings on the recommended retail price and top quality wine from the
Tuscan region.
I also was impressed that this small
company was looking at expanding into distributing for smaller, boutique
wineries here in Australia.
But I think that the reason why this
business appealed to me was bottled up into one word.
PROSECCO
Last year I was converted from a champagne tart to a Prosecco lover.
Comparing Champagne and Prosecco is like
comparing Psy, all loud and showy, to Dean Martin. Like Dean, Prosecco smoothly
glides on in, with small bubbles spreading warmth throughout your mouth.
I will never forget my first flirtation
with Prosecco in New York City….
And it was at that point, I knew I had to
push myself out of my wine comfort zone, as I was missing out on so much when
it came to the art of vino.
