“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.”

BATTLE OF THE VALLEYS - GOOD DRINKS

You better get into this queue quick: Artisans of the Barossa, Hills Underground and Vale Cru pour their wines in Cap'n Hahn's ol' dorf.  Bands, DJs, food vans and the wild front ears of three wine regions promise you a day of wondrous bewilderment ... DRINKSTER will award a special bling slash for the top fashion of the day. Go, wilder! More! Deeper!
