“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.”

SIGNS AND WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS

Signs and wonders in the heavens ... top wallpaper ... almost time to go back and see whether these astral visions will reappear ... I reckon it may be an annual event ...

The 2012 Grange will soon emerge ... Milton Wordley and I made a book about that year ... what went on ... we won many international awards for that book, A year in the life of Grange ... I took these photos of the reflections in the windows of the amazing Penfolds Magill Estate restaurant last year ... watch this space for my appraisals of the best of the November Penfolds release ... that's the old Grange cottage below ... photos Philip White
