?-?-?-? The De-Vine Truth ?-?-?-?
Was “Champagne” really the first region in
France to make sparkling wine?
Most of the world credits the invention of sparkling wine to the Champagne region,
and to Dom Perignon. The legend, and possible real story, is far more interesting.
In 1531 the monks of St Hilaire (a few kilometres from Limoux ) who were cultivating
the golden grape Mauzac (Blanquette ) discovered naturally sparkling wine, the
Blanquette of Limoux, the Oldest Brut in the world. When the great Dom passed
through, he stole the idea, or so the residents of Limoux allege!

Staff Picks
Andrew: Old Malt Cask Blair Athol 14 Year – Exclusive to KWM. One of only a few active
distilleries founded in the late 1700’s still producing single malt whisky. Honey, loads of fruit and
black licorice. $121.99
Marty: Laphroaig Quarter Cask – an excellent, very peaty and slightly sweet Islay malt. The
smoke is intense but doesn’t overpower the wonderful taste of the scotch. A suitable replacement
to the unavailable Laphroaig 10 year at a great price. $48.49
Maggie: Vinum Cellars Slow Lane Cabernet, Napa Valley – Surprise, surprise! Maggie picks a
California Cab! This new product from Vinum Cellars offers up rich berry fruit with a tannic
backbone that fills the mouth and lingers on and on. Easy to cellar, but easier to drink! $33.99
Kent: O Fournier Acrux – Who wants to tango with a monster? This Argentinean wine has
gorgeous aromas of crème de cassis and raspberry, loaded with lush fruit, including black fig and
boysenberry. Lots of mocha and bittersweet chocolate on the dense, muscular finish, but plenty of
acidity. A beauty, for any occasion!! $44.99
Marisa: Majella Shiraz – This robust Shiraz from the Coonawarra delivers a spicy nose along
with rich chocolate and blackberry notes. Luscious finish. Be sure to decant to allow all the rich
flavors to open up. Great with rack of lamb and mint sauce. $37.99
Barb: Ceago Cabernet – Decant this blockbuster a few hours before you enjoy it with a grilled
steak, and you will think you’ve died and gone to heaven. Rich berry and currant flavors,
cinnamon and vanilla. Oh, and it’s certified organic and biodynamic, so it’s good for you! $45.99
Tina: Tscharke Girl Talk – Who doesn’t like some girl talk? Taste the unexpected from Barossa
with this fabulous Albariño. It’s a wine filled with juicy peach, apricot and sweet citrus flavors.
Enjoy with some grilled tuna, mussels or with les girls. Call your mates – this one’s for sharing!
$26.99
Rebecca: Altolandon – This wine is a little too easy to drink! Spanish blend of Syrah, Merlot,
Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache creates a full bodied red that is loaded with rich dark fruit,
smooth tannins and is more enticing with each sip. $32.99
Darryl: Small Gully Mr. Black’s VP Shiraz – Imagine a Port flavored lozenge slowly melting on
your tongue. Amazing structure and finesse from this South Australian gem. $43.99

(Mourvedre)...Rich cherry and plums, with notes of coffee beans and smoke. Soft velvety
structure. Check out the price. $15.49
Luc: Chave St Joseph Offerus – Made from 100% Syrah. Medium ruby color, pungent, wild
aromas of cherry, smoked meat, lavender and licorice. Impressively concentrated and powerful
combining a distinctive wildness with sweetness of fruit. $41.99

Alexander Valley. Cherry, plum, crushed black pepper, eucalyptus and cedar. We all need a little
sin from time to time! $29.49
Grant: Moss Wood Chardonnay – From the Margaret River, no, not Burgundy! This little
beauty has classy cedary oak aromas with hints of lemon and grapefruit, intense white peach and
nectarine flavors with some mineral and nut notes and quite strong, crisp, refreshing acidity on a
finish that lingers. $61.99
Lynn: Clocher De Saint Joseph – As a dyed-in-the-wool American oaky Chardonnay kind of
girl, I have seen the light with this delicious French new arrival. Fresh, flinty, full bodied and well
balanced, but still with a lingering hint of oak (my security blanket). If I can make the switch so
can you! $54.99
Christopher E: Kay Brothers Hillside Shiraz 2004 – From one of Australia’s oldest
winemakers, this dense purple Shiraz is deep, full bodied, and powerful. With fine, supple tannins
and a bouquet of blackberries, earth and leather, it’s spectacular paired with grilled red meats, but
stands well on its own as a partner to great conversation. $80.99
