Another wondrous Margaret River winemaker with some spectacular wines
The latest in the Meet The Winemaker sessions organised by Brett Jones in Australia and Oliver Farquharson in the UK saw us settling around our laptops on a Saturday lunchtime to meet Travis Wray of House of Cards, certified in 2020 as 100% Organic

If you can't judge a book by the cover, why would you judge a wine by the label?
Maybe just this once the adage is incorrect; because House of Cards has some of the most attractive labels I've ever seen. I'm sure they would stand out on the shelves of the local Bottle Shop; although from Travis's comments I'm not sure they would make it that far. Travis has a thriving Cellar Door to which the people of Perth and its surroundings made a bee-line as soon as easing of restrictions permitted; so much so that the previous release of the "Queen Bee" Blanc de Blancs and "The Royals" Chardonnay have sold out.

Hi Carrie, am running the Cecchi Challenge on Thursday - I need your address to send the blind tasting samples to. Please can you email it to me?
Shouldn’t you always be giving the supermarkets a miss for wine?!? Also, wine under a tenner from Lebanon that’s worth drinking? Even the nasty product from Majestic does is more than 10.
