As a recovering sommelier with 40+ years in the wine business, I was very pleased with the seasonal six pack. Each wine represented an interesting aspect of the great wines of Australia, and each wine was also, well, legend. Sadly, Australian wines are still somewhat underappreciated, but Jane and Jon will change that. They represent stunning, artisan (I hate that word), individualistic, and brilliant wineries. The level of quality in the wines was stunning. It is pure pleasure to open each bottle and realize once again that Australia is producing not just interesting wines, but wines that rival the best wines from anywhere on the planet. I'm looking at you, California! I gush, but it's true. Can't wait for the next six.

As an Aussie living in the US access to a variety of great Australian wine is something I miss! My husband and I have enjoyed sampling some familiar labels and some new ones too. Our palates are rejoicing!

Can’t wait to enjoy all of these wines. What an easy way to include Australian wine in my entertaining. It makes every dining experience special and friends are excited to try something new.

We loved our first seasonal six pack. Living in the US, it's been disappointing to find limited Australian wine available (and where this is some in the wine shops, it's never the good stuff) so it was great to have a box of 6 specially selected Australian wines arrive at home. Will be looking forward to the next shipment!

Super happy with the selection of wines. Have tried 2 bottles of red so far and they were both fantastic!
Would like to be able to customise next time, since we don’t drink much white wine.

Phenomenal

Every bottle in my first box was thoughtfully picked out, had lots of details about what to match it with and some story about it, and most importantly was absolutely delicious.

You can tell some thought went into every pick.

I love that the selection includes a mix of styles and regions across Australia, introducing me to wines I wouldn’t have found on my own. The tasting notes and pairing suggestions made it even more fun to explore each bottle.

Brightly written, the tome delves deep and respectfully in to the past, offers a comprehensive picture of the present, and shines with enthusiasm for the future..

This book from the American sommeliers Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross manages the neat trick of offering all the geeky information of geology, geography, climate and history sought out by students while giving ordinary wine-lovers what they crave: names of producers to seek out, whether mainstream names or the vanguard wineries that, to me at least, have made Australian wine so interesting

Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross have compiled an exhaustive and intoxicating 500-page compendium of the great regions, terroirs, and rising stars and legends of Australian wine…the book may well change everything the rest of the world knows about Australian wine.

If you seek to understand this immense place, you must start here. Australia has come an awfully long way from its early beginnings in wine, and it continues to evolve and develop in immeasurably significant leaps as a premium winemaking nation. The history is proud, the future is bright and everything we need to know about where we’ve been and where we are headed can be found right here, in the pages of How To Drink Australian. It’s a ripper read and a must-have for any serious wine lover.

Perhaps the best example of this kind of book ever written.

It’s taken two savvy Americans to write the one book that every Australian wine lover needs to have in their library…Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross – two high-flying and scarily knowledgable sommeliers – have covered just about every aspect of the wine industry in Australia, making their book a must read for both wine industry folks and wine lovers.

This is an outstanding piece of work. If there is one book that anyone wanting to learn more about Australian wine should have, this is it.

It’s the most comprehensive book about Australian wine to appear in over a decade.
