I've probably mentioned this only a squillion times before, but I went to boarding school with a girl whose parents owned a winery in the South West of Western Australia. Where all the good wines are produced. If only I'd known at age 13, just how important the good stuff would be in my adult years. I would've made a concerted effort to become life long besties with that girl.
Sadly, we drifted apart and she's not on Facebook therefore I can't find her to reconnect and suck up.
But all is not lost, as I met the obliging Marketing Manager of another West Australian winery at the recent Good Food & Wine Show - Plantagenet's Omrah Wines.
Back in ye olde days when I first discovered wine, I started as a red-only girl. Then I swapped to white-only, for no apparent reason. And in the past few years I've started to rely on enjoy both red and white - because I'm all for a total open door, non-discrimination policy when it comes to my wine consumption these days.
So back to Plantagenet's Omrah Wines and why you should be even more excited about them than I am.
Thanks to having all my senses and faculties (it was early) at the start of my wine sampling journey, I managed to talk my way into six of Plantagenet's Omrah Wines for a giveaway.
Now I've got your attention...
I have sampled all of these fine wines. Not from the giveaway bottles, don't worry.
I have honestly enjoyed all of them. And it's good to know that I can head to my local bottleshop and buy a bottle for around $20 or less. That's very important in my ongoing struggle to balance quantity AND quality.

I love wine with chocolate dipped strawberries
ReplyDeleteI love figs and cheese with my wine.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy almost any food with my wine, but if I'm having a bit of a social gathering, especially out the back in nice weather, my favourite would be a cheese platter with water crackers.
ReplyDeleteI like olives and nuts when drinking my wine.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at Omrah .. all class here Cheese Twisties !
ReplyDeleteMy favourite wine accompaniment is a straw. It looks so much classier than just drinking straight from the bottle. *grin* No, really, my favourite accompaniment to a white is a hot day, and a cold day and open fire for a nice red.
ReplyDeleteCheese with homemade quince paste goes down wonderfully with some delicious wine. There is no better way to spend a girls night in (even if I am alone!)
ReplyDeleteCrackers, apricots and brie.
ReplyDeleteCheese matches with wine,
ReplyDeleteAnd they seduce me just fine.
They go down with ease,
So to Hubby I say, “yes, please”!
I didnt feel like wine tonight til i saw this. Might need a few glasses now, and the perfect red will of course go with the perfect steak.
ReplyDeleteWine can only be accompanied with misbehaving children. And since I'm 'blessed' with the aforementioned misbehaving children...... a wine is in order. STAT!
ReplyDeleteSome baguette, pate and cornichons
ReplyDeletePretzels! The saltier the better.
ReplyDeleteSome nice bitey cheese and crackers
ReplyDeleteShared everywhere

ReplyDeleteWine is a must when living by the on th WA coast like me, we catch in-season crayfish, grilled on the BBQ and I serve it up with my to die for garlic sauce, rice and home grown salad.

Let me just say, I am drooling over these wine bottles as I read your blog!
ReplyDeletemy favourites accompaniment, a Friday night, a fellow Mother and a good giggle
Followed Omrah wines on Fb
ReplyDeleteDinner. I have a glass (or two) every night with dinner, don't care what the dinner actually is. Just so long as there's a glass of wine to wash it down with.
ReplyDeleteEverything:)
ReplyDeletefollowed love wine with cheese:-)
ReplyDeleteI've never been a wine drinker until recently. Hubs prefers a red, me i prefer a white although i think that might be the teenage wipe outs on cheap red cask wine that make me shudder about going there again.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy having wine with the girls along with some cheeses, fruits and of course before the end some chocolate lol

My fav accompaniment for a big glass of wine is a good selection of music to sing along with!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is anything taste good with the wine! seen as how I prefer chocolate (no i am not addicted to it, just because I could eat a family sized chocolate to myself?) I love to have a good quality mud cake with a nice glass of red wine. Been a long time since I have done that!
ReplyDeleteShared it on twitter, and liked Omrah Wines on Facebook :)
ReplyDeleteI already follow you, I WILL follow Omrah Wines on FB and I just Tweeted and will share on FB :-)
ReplyDeleteMy fave wine accompaniment is a bloody big glass!
I love an antipasto platter with wine, also seafood and wine is another favourite combination of mine. Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely more wine. But a good dark, chili chocolate can work beautifully with a full-bodied Shiraz... :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite wine accompaniment is you. Nawwwwww. I know I can't enter, just sucking up in case you happen to find the winery chick any time soon.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite wine accompaniment is a wine glass because just sticking a straw in the bottle is not a good look.
ReplyDeleteShared on facebook.
ReplyDeleteOh bless. I would totes buy you a bottle of their wine for that. Not just because it's now quite cheap and affordable. Like me, really.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite wine accompaniment is FOOD, because lets face it all food tastes better with wine.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of cheese with wine.
ReplyDeleteHave followed Omrah wines on Facebook also :)

ReplyDeleteno surprise here - love my cheese and dips with my wine.
ReplyDeleteCheese, cheese and more cheese. Definitely the best thing to go with wine.
ReplyDeleteCheese good but the best thing to go with good wine is good friends - always best to share - even if you dont want to share your favourite wine - with good friends its always the best.....
ReplyDeleteQuite partial to some blue cheese and seedless grapes on the side and preferably a view of a winery to top it off.
ReplyDeleteBlue cheese with orange marmalade on toasted rye bread YUMMO!
ReplyDeleteI love blue cheese... and brie... and camembert... on water crackers.
ReplyDeleteFood and friends are the best accompaniments for wine!

ReplyDeleteLove it. Congrats Melinda, you have won one of the two packs of Omrah Wines!
ReplyDeleteThat is gold! Love it. And for that you have won a two pack of Omrah Wines. Best be getting at least 2 packs of Twisties. Dare I suggest chicken Twisties to accompany the Omrah white?
ReplyDeleteNever a truer word has been spoken. A bloody big glass it is - and you will need one, as you've won one of the two packs of Omrah Wines. So polish that massive glass and get ready!
ReplyDeleteThanks, can't wait to sample these...
