We included a visit to the ACMI (Australian Centre for Moving Images) in our Melbourne CBD activities. Again this was a great opportunity to take the time to learn something about how media came to be. From shadows to flip books to film to colour and sound to storyboards, set making to gaming. It was fascinating and a little overwhelming to think we now all walk around with the power to film anything anytime.

Funny story time - being Friday and all, we kept with our tradition of pizza 🍕 night. We chose to check out SPQR, followed our google maps and found the building with the sign on it, went in and asked whether they had a table for two and she replied “yes but only for an hour”. Feeling smug that we snagged a table, we quickly replied “sure”. After all we can eat a pizza in an hour.
Found ourselves tucked in a corner with a book of a wine list and a couple next to us eating a thick slab of meat - no pizza in sight or smell for that matter. And the glasses of wine start at $17.80 with premium pours up to $68. Apparently we had a seat at a quaint little wine bar/restaurant, Punch Lane for the next hour and not SPQR. Well do you leave or not?
What the heck, we ordered the $17.80 Rose each which was super tasty, stayed for an hour and then went to get our pizza. As an aside, the server gave us a very generous pour “because no one’s looking right” and shared some interesting info on an orange wine from Tassie.
Our chosen destination was down the lane from the sign on the building. By this time on a Friday it was hopping with a DJ playing and jam packed with people so we took our eggplant pizza and meatballs to go (known as “take away” here). Kinda blew the daily budget but it’s just an average right?
Sometimes making mistakes turns out for the better.

Original Sin
This is some dirty dirty dirty-ass eucalyptus shit, man. Holy wow. I love eucalyptus, but this pushes my comfort level a bit, gotta say. Muddy peat and eucalyptus is pretty much the entire nose. And plenty of air doesn’t do much to alleviate it. Gradually, thick leather and salted licorice take form. It’s purple, too–not showing any of that girly-man Pinot-esque garnet Santa Barbara digs. The…

Grosperrin MMC 1 Mistelle-type Pineau des Charentes 7 years 17% 750ml
Tumblr media
A unique French fortified aperitif, perfect gift for the wine or spirit lover who has tried everything... MMC1 stands for "mout mute au Cognac" or must blended with Cognac. It is made from fresh grape musts, added to Cognac, and aged together for 7 years minimum in french oak barrels. The MMC1 was made at a small estate in Petite Champagne. Bottled without any addition of sulphur nor sugar. Limited quantities.
Straw yellow colour. On the nose, lots of fruit and minerality. On the palate, very soft, not very sweet. Nice acidity, balanced.

Wine Review #3: McGuigan Reserve Pinot Grigio
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Opening: Luckily, another wine with a screw cap, so I had no issues opening it.
Taste: It was okay. Again very mild and lacking crispness in my opinion. Where are those citrus notes? Have the vibrant tropical fruit aromas cancelled out the sourness of the citrus notes?
Headache: The next day I did have a slight headache but nothing major. So, you should be fine if you share the bottle with a friend and don’t drink it all by yourself as I do :)
Bought: ASDA
Price: 7£
Rating 3/5

Alrighty then - it’s 31 degrees outside going up to 33 today. Careful what you wish for I always say. 🥵 I’m wondering if it may be time for the Canberra Art Gallery or a Canberra wine tasting. Have I mentioned there’s no fee for the museums and art galleries but there is for a tasting? Incredibly backward if you ask me.

High Treason
I really should drink more Australian cab. I scrolled back and only found two or three in the past ten years. This thing drinks like a frickin barrel sample. Glass-staining crimson with considerable sediment. Decanted vigorously. Clean, precise nose of blockbuster proportions: heady burnt rubber, diesel and brushy briar, hot to touch and the fruit mired impossilby behind everything else. It’s…
