This  week we have put together two fantastic Mixed Dozens... along with our regular  seasonal mixed dozen, this one being the &quot;Autumn Mixed Dozen&quot;, we have  constructed a cheeky &quot;New Vs Old World&quot; pack to showcase some great Australian  wines alongside their &quot;Old World&quot; benchmarks. Both dozens have a discount with  over 20% off the normal retail price and of course with free  freight.


Australia Vs the &quot;Old World&quot; Mixed Dozen @  $355

Australian wines  and especially our &quot;alternative varieties&quot; continue to improve in leaps &amp;  bounds and much of this is due to the understanding of oak management (less is  more) and fruit extraction (sometimes, less is more). Whilst we will never take  the crown off places like Montalcino, we are doing a great job of interpreting  these classic varieties.

Fletcher  Minion Nebbiolo 2011 Vs Marengo  Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore 2010&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Curly Flat  Pinot Noir 2010 Vs Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Rouge 2010&nbsp; 
La Prova  Sangiovese 2010 Vs&nbsp;Frascole Chianti Rufina&nbsp;2009 
La Linea  Tempranillo 2011 Vs Dehesa Gago Tempranillo 2011 
Shaw &amp;  Smith Shiraz 2010 Vs Guigal St Joseph 2010 
Yelland &amp;  Papps Vin de Soif Delight 2011 Vs La Vieille  Ferme Cotes du Ventoux 2011 

Purchase the Australia Vs  the &quot;Old World&quot; Dozen online or send us an e-mail.

Autumn  Mixed Dozen @ $288

For this dozen we have chosen  some brilliant new releases that have made their way onto our shelves; wines of  great value that are perfectly suited for a season delivering some perfect  weather... for drinking fine wine. As always we have wines from all over the  world, built around some new producers plus a few hidden gems that we have  sought out. Covering an array of varieties from Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz to  Gamay and even a cheeky Mansois, we have spanned the globe featuring France,  Italy, South Africa and of course Australia.

In the dozen you will  find;
Brash Higgins Grenache Mataro 
Some Young  Punks Double Love Trouble 
Cos Cerasuolo  Di Vittoria 
Best's Great Western Dolcetto
Rustenberg RM  Nicholson Cabernet 
Zolo Cabernet  Sauvignon 
Alpha Box &amp; Dice Changing Lanes 
La Curio  Reserve Grenache 
Vissoux Cuvee Traditionnelle 
Les Burons  Marcillac 
Vieux Naudin Bordeaux Superieur 
Maxwell  Little Demon Shiraz Grenache

2011  Joh Jos Prums

The centenary vintage from this  legendary Estate...

&ldquo;If Dr. Manfred  Pr&uuml;m does not make good Riesling in a given vintage, you can bet that it was  probably impossible to do. With over 50 vintages under his belt, he is not only  the grand old man of the region, but also a source of inspiration for the  current generation of winemakers. His inimitable, reductive style, which is  often difficult to understand in its youth, and was once confusing even for his  colleagues, has become the benchmark for the spatlese and auslese styles that  are the hallmarks of the middle stretches of the Mosel.&rdquo; 
Joel  B.Payne, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar,  2012
&ldquo;With the rise  of so many excellent winemakers in the region, one might have supposed that J.J.  Pr&uuml;m, with its profound conservatism, might have been overtaken and left behind.  Not a bit of it. The Estate remains where it has been for decades: at the  summit.&rdquo; 
Stephen Brook, The Wines of  Germany
&quot;A mere 100  years doesn&rsquo;t seem nearly long enough to reflect the unique position that the  J.J. Pr&uuml;m winery holds in German viniculture.&quot; 
Frank K&auml;mmer MS,  The World of Fine Wine, Issue 37

Katharina Prum  sums up the 2011 vintage well...
&quot;Due to the beautiful weather conditions  in spring and a rather cool summer, the hang-time was very long in 2011, similar  to 2007, the grapes enjoyed excellent ripening conditions and thanks to  excellent weather conditions during harvest, great qualities could be harvested,  in good quantities. We harvested all Pr&auml;dikate from Kabinett to TBA, only the  production of Eiswein was not possible in 2011. Some good botrytis developed in  October and November, allowing us to produce some Goldcapsules, and also  Beerenauslese (BA) and Trockenbeeren-auslesen (TBA) to be selected &ndash; the latter  will be released later, as usual. 
The focus in  production will be in the Kabinett, Sp&auml;tlese and Auslese level, and the first  tastings show that the different vineyard characters of Wehlener Sonnenuhr,  Graacher Himmelreich, Bernkasteler Badstube and Zeltinger Sonnenuhr are  expressed very pronouncedly. Also, attractive flavors and an impressive balance  in the wines already at this early stage of development is striking, promising  an earlier accessibility of the wines of 2011 vintage. At the same time, the  complexity, elegance and excellent structure of each wine indicates a great  ageing potential. 
We are grateful  to have been blessed with another great vintage.&quot;&nbsp;

Joh Jos Pr&uuml;m has  been a favourite producer here at EEC for many years, and they are regarded as  one of the greatest German producers, plus&nbsp;they represent outstanding value!  Numbers  are limited for this release so if they are of interest please let us know as  soon as possible and we will allocate them accordingly.
Download the  Order Form&nbsp;and please return to&nbsp;us via email to wine@eastendcellars.com.au or fax 08 8232 2055&nbsp;and we will  confirm your order as soon as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Giuseppe  Mascarello Tasting
 
Thursday May 9th  6:30pm at Est Pizzeria
&quot;Mauro makes some of the  most compelling, traditional wines in Piedmont.&quot; Antonio  Galloni.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Fashions and trends never affect the style of  wines from Mauro and Giuseppe Mascarello, the latest generations at an estate  that has embodied Langhe tradition since the late 19th Century, not just Barolo  but also Barbera, Dolcetto and Freisa from long macerations and ageing in large  barrels. Apparently subtle, rarefied right from the colour and at times  surprising in their aromatics, they travel through time as few other wines,  frequently offering unforgettable experiences to wine lovers with patient.&rdquo;  Gambero Rosso.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Monprivato has been known as a  special vineyard since at least the 1600s, and a quarter century ago Renato  Ratti's classification of Barolo vineyards ranked Monprivato among Barolo's ten  greatest vineyards-analagous to a Burgundy grand cru.&rdquo; Rare Wine  Co.
&nbsp;&nbsp; 
On the 9th of May at 6:30pm, upstairs at Est Pizzeria,  we&rsquo;ll be running through the stunning wines of Giuseppe Mascarello, and more  importantly a mini vertical of Monprivato! Giuseppe Mascarello are known for  their finesse and perfume rather than volume and weight; and certainly the  Monprivato is more akin to Burgundy than Barolo. This is a great opportunity to  see what the fuss is about with this almighty vineyard. 
&nbsp;
The line-up is  as follows:
2011 Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Mirasole 
2008 Barbera d'Alba  Santo Stefano di Perno
2010 Langhe Nebbiolo 
2008 Barolo Villero 
2007  Barolo Santo Stefano 
2008 Barolo Monprivato 
2007 Barolo  Monprivato
2006 Barolo Monprivato
2005 Barolo Monprivato
2004 Barolo  Monprivato
2000 Barolo Monprivato
1998 Barolo Monprivato
1993 Barolo  Monprivato
&nbsp;
Tickets are only $140 and Est is very small so tickets are  indeed limited.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;d like to come along, try these superlative  wines and have a nibble of pizza, you can purchase a ticket  online or email us at wine@eastendcellars.com.au

Some old favourites  and some surprising new arrivals have got us a little bit excited so below we  have highlighted a few that have just hit the shelves.

New Releases
2009 Castello  di Neive Santo Stefano&nbsp;Barbaresco @  $140
A highlight from a recent tasting from this 'old  school' producer, its real star quality is how good it looks the next day.  Gambero Rosso explains it well...&quot;Aged long and requiring time, they are not  modern or easy-drinking but true to themselves. Those who know how to appreciate  them also know they are worth waiting for.&quot; A Nebbiolo that offers depth whilst  never looking &lsquo;modernist&rsquo;, so if putting a wine away for a years is okay with  you, then this Barbaresco will reward. 

2010 Monte  Tondo San Pietro Valpolicella @  $23
Valpolicella doesn't always have to mean a big,  spicy, monster of a red wine. There are of course softer, more delicate styles  to play with like this delicious Monte Tondo...&nbsp; A lifted floral aroma sets the  scene abound with violets and roses, with loads of spice to add intrigue. A  medium weighted Valpolicella that being lighter, lends itself to a greater array  of foods. This represents excellent value and is very user friendly.

2012 Brash  Higgins Nero d'Avola @  $37
So the wine might not be from Italy but we think Brad  Hickey is doing a great job with this Sicilian variety in McLaren Vale. Where  the first years release showed definite &lsquo;traits&rsquo; of the vintage (which  incidentally we liked) the 2012 is a much safer year shall we say. The Brash  Higgins Nero d&rsquo;Avola is a sublime interpretation of this Sicilian varietal  leaning more towards an aromatic spectrum rather than brute force. Bright  cherries, herbs, good acidity, a lightness of being shall we say. All in all,  forget about the varietal, forget about the techniques and simply enjoy this  wine as it&rsquo;s beautiful.&nbsp; 

Bressan...
On a  recent trip to Sydney our paths collided with a mad man from Northern Italy -  Fruili to be exact. The man himself, Fulvio Bressan in his army jumpsuit was an  enigma and his wines were captivating, intriguing, fascinating and most  importantly delightful. Fulvio was resolute and passionate about using varieties  that are native to his home of Fruili and respect for the vineyard. We  understand these sorts of wines won&rsquo;t appeal to all, the fact that the Carat is  a dark mahogany colour will stop most in their tracks, but if you&rsquo;re willing to  be taken on a wild ride, a trip that is quite unlike anything you&rsquo;ve tackled  before, then we highly suggest you let us guide you through this maelstrom of a  label to open up Pandora&rsquo;s Box. 

2006 Bressan  Carat @ $57
A blend of  Friulano, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla that sees oak maturation and batonage for  a year. The Carat is not your linear Clare Riesling, it is a complex and  profound wine that needs to be seen. Tannic, textural, citric, orange, savoury,  nutty, the list goes on.

2006 Bressan  Schioppettino @  $72
Ribolla Nera, or called  &ldquo;Schioppettino&rdquo; as it is known in Friuli is perhaps a bit easier to play with  than the Carat as it looks red when it is a red, however the flavours are quite  intriguing. Peppery and medium weighted with beautiful movement, the  Schioppettino is a complex and fascinating wine. 

(Both Bressan wines&nbsp;are  extremely limited) 

Ceretto  Dinner
Tuesday  April the 16th at Ambrosini's Restaurant from 7pm - $120

We&rsquo;d love you to  join us for what should be a memorable evening.&nbsp;&nbsp;Along with our good friends at  Ambrosini's Restaurant we will be&nbsp;hosting a&nbsp;dinner with Alessandro Ceretto &amp;  Dave Fletcher. Celebrating the wines of Ceretto with special guests Brian Croser  of Tapanappa Wines and Peter Godden of Arrivo.

Tickets  are only $120 and numbers are limited (of course).

Matched with the  fantastic food from Abrosini's, the line up of wine will be as  follows;
Canapes  with:
Daosa 2009, Ceretto Arneis 2011 &amp; Tapanappa Tiers 2010
Entree  with:
Ceretto Dolcetto, 2010 Tapanappa Foggy Hill 2010 &amp; Ceretto Nebbiolo  d'Alba 2010
Mains  with:
Arrivo Nebbiolo 2008, Ceretto Barbaresco Bernardot &amp; 2008 Ceretto  Barbaresco Bricco Asili 2008
Cheese  with:
Ceretto Barolo Prapo 2008, Ceretto Barolo Prapo 1998&nbsp; &amp; Ceretto  Barolo Bricco Rocche 2008
And  Petit Fours to finish with the Ceretto Moscato d'Asti 2012


To  purchase a ticket you can go online, send us an e-mail&nbsp;or give us a call on 08 8232 5300.

Ceretto are a  leading producer in Piemonte so if you&rsquo;re unfamiliar, then what better way to  see why, alongside the gorgeous food of Ambrosini&rsquo;s. This is amazing value and  will be packed with plenty of flavour.&nbsp;

Giaconda  Pre Arrivals
 
Once again we are happy to offer a pre-arrival offer for the outstanding and  iconic wines from Giaconda. Like all years, numbers are limited, so if you'd  like some get in quick; Giaconda is simply one of Australia's finest producers.  

Here are some barrel tasting notes from Rick  Kinzbrunner.

2012 Estate Vineyard Chardonnay (screw  cap)
-due May 2014 
A further example of power and  concentration. This wine is developing excellent depth and complexity. The nose  is showing usual characters of matchstick and meal with funky classic Chardonnay  peach fruit. The palate is balanced, with good richness, acidity and  persistence. Slightly richer than the 2010 &amp; 11 at this stage. With further  barrel maturation this wine should realise its potential to become a future  classic - following on from the success of recent vintages.
2012 Yarra Valley &amp; Beechworth Pinot Noir (screw  cap) 
-due May 2014
A highly concentrated  palate of red and black fruits, cherries, and earthy fungal characters. An  assertive nose with a long palate and powerful impact. This wine shows the  advantage of a longer ferment in texture and concentration. Fine grained but  powerfully assertive tannins. These tannins give the wine extra long persistence  with an interesting note of smoked meats on the finish.
2012 Warner Vineyard Shiraz (screw cap)&nbsp;  
-due May 2014
A very exotic nose of  Charcuterie, spices and undergrowth. Ripe black fruits lead to a rich palate,  fine but assertive tannins with good balance and acidity will ensure this wine  becomes deeply complex and exotic with age. The mouth feel is seamless, fleshy  and balanced by great length and fine acidity.
2012 Estate Vineyard Shiraz (cork)
-due May  2014&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Dark and brooding on the nose with concentrated ripe  fruits.&nbsp; Hints of pepper, spice and game combine to give a dense nose. These  characters carry into the palate. Flesh, power, and deeply engrained ripe  tannins&nbsp; make the palate impressive in its latent power. 1.5% of Viognier seems  to flesh out the palate and give that exotic edge to the nose.
2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (cork) 
-due May  2013 
Notes of ripe black fruit and cedar, the nose is racy and  has a classic Cabernet character without showing any green edges. The palate  structure is very assertive whilst still being rich and long. This wine finishes  with classic fine grained firm tannins which run right through the structure and  will enable long term aging potential.
2010 Nebbiolo (cork)
-due May  2013&nbsp;&nbsp; 
In typical Nebbiolo fashion this wine takes time to  open and to reveal its true colours; a vibrant robe, not too dark and with a  typical brick hue around the edges. The nose blossoms with lots of tar and  exotic spice but still shows those intriguing hints of rose petal. The palate is  extremely complex, a melange of delicacy and great power at the same time.  Ethereal yet mouth filling, it has a barely hidden richness with a rather more  obvious long drawn-out tannic finish and good acidity.&nbsp; Decanting is  recommended

Download the order form here. 

This is a pre-arrival  and it is the same deal as usual; all money is needed upon confirmation of your  order. Delivery will be May 2014, except for the Cabernet and Nebbiolo which  will be here May 2014.

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado may we present to you the East End Cellars 2012 'Red Book of Wine'!
This is our handy pocket size guide to all your summertime vinous needs. It is the result of many hours of hard tasting, in our relentless quest to find the best value and most interesting wines available.

Inside you will see loads of great specials and tasting notes on everything we think is interesting at the moment and don't forget, there are some great bargains tucked inside for good measure...

You can look at the book in two different formats:
- PDF version (iPhone/iPad friendly)
- Flash version

Wines are available to buy online or can be ordered by calling 08 8232 5300 or even e-mail: wine@eastendcellars.com.au

Win a bottle of Penfolds Grange

To help celebrate this year&rsquo;s edition of &quot;The Red Book of Wine&quot; we have thirty &quot;Red Book Six Packs&quot; for the special price of $150 - with free delivery nationally.

Jauma

James Erskine has nailed it again! Confirmation being apparent in his Spring Releases from the brilliant 2012 vintage: the Jauma label continues to excite. These wines are pure, radiate life, verve and are oh so wholesome. The Danby is once again a standout for us. It&rsquo;s an exciting, vibrant , fruit driven wine that is very, very easy to drink&hellip;

2012 Jauma Danby @ $27
2012 Jauma Chenin Blanc @ $27
