“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.”

YOU BETTER GET TO THIS

Sellicks Hill winemaker Paul Petagna has pulled some proper musos together for this: only 150 tickets, so it'll be a tiny mob that'll fill quick and close  ... one of them untidy private little close big unforgettable nights you remember when you're dyin ... here's a co-incidental Petagna vintage shed lunch, just so's you know something along the lines of what to expect. Within unreason. You'll enjoy the Italianate take on all Paul's wines, too: passion and pulchritude. I love 'em.
