There’s nothing unusual about a sommelier turning their hand to winemaking. Rarely though is a first attempt as delightful as this example by Melbourne sommelier Warren Wu. Aromas of freshly baked white bread, grapefruit curd and watermelon skin. It’s heavy on the spritz (just short of truely fizzy) with a dusting of residual sugar balanced by a lovely lemon pith texture. Drink it in the sun, smash it with some dumplings, or pair it with brunch. Failing at life? I call that winning.

Nicole loves wine. So much so that she gave up a successful career in Pharmacy, perfected her spitting technique, and moved from sunny Queensland to the wine-drenched laneways of Melbourne. Stints in hospitality, wineries, retail, sales and marketing filled the next few years while Nicole built her knowledge and searched for the right path. She completed the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Diploma in 2016 and became a certified WSET Educator the following year. She now juggles a number of roles including teaching people about wine, curating wines lists for restaurants and bars, judging in Australian wine shows and, of course, writing. In 2016 she won the Negociants Working With Wine writing award and has since contributed to Gourmet Traveller WINE, Halliday Wine Companion Magazine and Nourish Magazine.
