“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

SSSHHH! HOTTEST CURRIES ON THE COAST

Secret intelligence for vendageurs loose in McLaren Vale this vintage: hiding in the middle behind the sandwich boards is the Aldinga Bay Cafe, 162 Esplanade, Aldinga Beach. You can sit there looking over the cliff across Gulf St Vincent, the patron of viticulturers, sinking icy Kingfisher beer while proprietor and chef Arbind Bhatt, his wife Mamta and their  family get your stomach happied right up with wave after wave of the best curries in the south. Like Olaf the Owner's fabled Bombora Cafe on the Cockle Beach at Goolwa, this is one of those special surprise treasures that dot the Fleurieu coast. Go sit.
