Cave dwellers

The best way to explain my approach to stocking a wine cellar is to share a few real-life stories from my recent drinking history. I visited a bunch of wineries in the Great Southern region of Western Australia a couple of months ago and enjoyed many rieslings from the excellent 2018 vintage, including Frankland Estate’s scintillating, lime-y, precise Isolation Ridge.

I love Australian riesling. I think it’s one of the best wines you can have in your cellar: it matures gracefully for two or three decades
