The ‘Endless Yarn’ sure has some personality, just like any old mate at a pub chewing your ear off. The Shiraz has plenty of bright red plums working their way across the bar and then there is a waft of spice, like the pasta at the salad bar. The finish is as loud as the publican for a call of last drinks with a touch of vanilla and tannin grip.

For the majority of you who are enamoured with winemakers with what must seem to be a perfect job compared to boring office jobs or a tradie and the folly of all their clients who think they could do a better job! Well owning a winery is a combination of office work and a job where plenty of people tell you what they think of your booze, good or bad. For Cathy and Neil who make Boots & All, the name is never more apt with their roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and honest approach. Cathy is the winemaker and Neil handles the logistics of day to day winery operations and they certainly give it their boots and all. Their main operation is for their main winery, Whicher Ridge, yet this label has been made in partnership with the Good Paid Days team. So, to people like Cathy and Neil who give it their all and at least at the end of the day, they don’t have to go searching too hard for a good glass of wine.
