The Secret Of Wine From Western Australia
There are few if any Australian wine regions that can quite match the majestic beauty and splendour of Western Australia’s Margaret River. The pristine white beaches that stretch up and down the coast. Behind the sand dunes lie rolling hills. This is a place that draws people from all over, the mix of natural beauty, attractions and the enviable lifestyle.
But the sailing in Margaret River has not always been so calm. In the mid 1960’s when the first ideas were floated of grapes being grown here, the area was in a serious slump. The once popular timber industry had almost disappeared and the locals were looking for something to help bring them out of the economic depression they had fallen in to. Then along came Dr John Gladstones, whom reckoned that Margaret River might be a special place to grow grapes. Soon plantings began and the area would never be the same again.
First Tom Cullity at Vasse Felix, then Di and Kevin Cullen at Cullen and finally Bill Pannell at Moss Wood put experimental vineyards in the ground, wines from which quickly proved the areas potential. With over 120 producers in the Margaret River region it is without doubt one of our greatest Australian fine wine zones. Local names such as Moss Wood, Cullen and Leeuwin Estate sit comfortably among the greatest Australian producers, with their wines highly sought both here and overseas.
One of the region’s most enduring qualities is the vitality of the local people. The Margaret River has much to offer. The winemakers aspire to not only make wines that match up to the best from Australia but stand up as great wines of the world. You can see it in the eyes of producers. Keith Mugford from Moss Wood, Mike Peterkin of Pierro and Vanya Cullen of Cullen. There is a great self-assuredness that never shows arrogance. And they back it up with brilliance in each and every bottle.
In terms of quality, while the old firm of Leeuwin Estate, Moss Wood, Vasse Felix, Cullen, Cape Mentelle, Howard Park and Pierro still are generally responsible for the region’s greatest wines, underneath there is a crowd of new producers knocking on the door. Woodlands and the revitalised Xanadu immediately come to mind as two wineries with great potential but probably the most exciting of such ventures, and one that is quickly rising to be among Margaret River’s best, is Voyager Estate.
The original vines of what is now Voyager Estate were first planted in 1978, under the name of Freycinet Estate. These vineyards, in 1991, were bought and significantly expanded on.. This was a masterstroke because the area has since become known as ‘Golden triangle of Chardonnay’.
When in Margaret River, it is impossible to miss Voyager Estate. South of the township and closely located to Leeuwin Estate, it is marked by a huge flagpole as well as the large Cape Dutch style building which sits amongst magnificent grounds. While the built environment is slick, it is what’s in the local vineyards and winery that really impresses. What is patently clear here is that in all facets of the Voyager Estate operation everything is done with perfection as the ultimate goal. And no one better exemplifies this than winemaker Cliff Royle
I first met Cliff before a tasting of some barrels that would end up in his Cabernet Merlot blend from the highly acclaimed 2007 vintage, and he was a little nervous. Not because he didn’t believe in the wines rather it was more like a father for his child – he wasn’t quite ready to let his wines out into the big, wide world in case they didn’t put their best foot forward, as young wines often do. Well he needn’t have worried because they were absolutely superb and a real treat, although the 2007 vintage won’t be released for at least another couple of years.
Wine from Voyager Estate include three absolute knockouts. The first is their renowned Chardonnay from the icy Margaret River vintage of 2006. Reds have been difficult for some in 2006, the whites are superb with intense fruit and acidity. The Voyager Chardonnay 2006 ($35) has a powerful fruity and youthful palate with a slight creamy complexity and brilliant length. It is one of the greatest 2006 Margaret River Chardonnays. From the current lineup, my pick is the 2005 Shiraz ($35). Generally the Margaret River doesn’t make standout Shiraz, but this is a wonderful example of dense cool climate Shiraz with clove and blackberry fruit lifted by hints of violets and licorice. In the mouth there is such a youthful feel and plenty of vitality that it will only get better over the next decade. Best known of the wines from Voyager Estate is their Cabernet Merlot ($60), with the 2004 release one of their best to date. This wine is really built for the long term with gravelly cassis and blackberry fruit rounded out nicely with some subtle notes of olive and oak. In the mouth there is great generosity of fruit that is currently bound up in its significant structure. In ten to fifteen years it will be a wonderful drop too drink.
What should I wear with these boots (photo included)?
what can i wear with these vintage western/cowboy boots to make them look a little less cowboy-ish? i thought of like a cute dress of some kind? would skinny jeans and a slightly loose white v-neck tee look good? i usually like casual clothing items, really good basics, and somewhat of a beachy feel...but i like the boots, they are cuter than the photo shows, i just don't want to look all western haha
[ pictures would be helpful

It would be better if you actually included a photo.
To be honest, I don't think there's much you can do with them, other than jeans and shirt.
Joe Cipolla, Milan, Italy (Post Gazette)
It's not quite a pairing to rival the spaghetti western, but it's not far off:
In Navigli, a trendy neighborhood in Milan, one of the most popular
restaurants is an American-style steakhouse. With red-and-white-checkered
tablecloths, walls crowded with black-and-white photos and a butcher counter
up front, the five-year-old Joe Cipolla approximates a vintage meat-and-
potatoes joint.
