I love a Pinot Gris that delivers the richer, enticing, riper aromas of the French style. There’s Buerre Bosc pears and a hint of white peach, before a spicy nutmeg and cinnamon wave begs another sniff. Exotic fruits delight on the palate – Nashi and golden Kiwi, with refreshing grapefruit. Ageing in older French oak boosts the silky texture without adding oak flavour, allowing the fruit to shine. Drink with tuna tartare and thick cut potato crisps.
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.
