Raclette at Handpicked Cellar Door

Hi, my name is Vanessa and I have an addiction. It's been 10 days since I've last ingested an indulgent, satisfyingly delicious lump of golden premium European....cheese. Well it would be less than 10 days if pizza counts (which it does) #sorrynotsorry.  

I'm a fan of all these cheesy, from mac & cheese to a delicious warm fondue - this was my first time trying the infamous Raclette, the melted golden rich mess smothered the creamy potatoes with a side of crispy pancetta -- mmm! I ordered a flight of decedent whites - the Moscato and the Prosecco were standouts for me, primarily due to their sweeter side. 

Handpicked Wines will be melting cheese every Tuesday from 5.30pm - 10pm starting 20th of June until the end of July at the Cellar Door.

Handpicked winemaker

Influential Melbourne-based winemaking consultant Gary Baldwin has joined Sydney based negociant-style business Handpicked Wines (tastings).

Baldwin takes the role of chief winemaker for Handpicked, which engages regionally based winemakers such as Peter Douglas in Coonawarra (tastings), Rolf Binder in the Barossa (tastings) and Dominique Portet in the Yarra (tastings), as well as sourcing overseas wines such as Italian moscato and bracchetto and Chilean carmenere.

Baldwin has already helped Handpicked owner, Chinese-born William Dong, buy vineyards in the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Barossa.

It sources wines from allover the world and its portfolio of 25 wines covers 12 regions in five countries.

I’ve been tasting Handpicked wines for several years and have noted a recent rise in quality and consistency. It promises to be an innovative business with an exciting future.
