Loved this book ‘My Italian Bulldozer’ – food and wine writer Paul Stewart welcomes his next writing gig – it is in Italy and removes him from the scene of his relationship break up. Paul’s car hire arrangement falls through and he ends up hiring a tractor to drive through the Italian landscape. Fun and easy holiday read.

I dropped into Petition Wine Bar with @perthcafeculture for a couple of drinks recently and tried a Ulithorne Wine Specialis 2014 blend of Grenache and Tempranillo – delicious aromas of raspberries and a hint of tobacco, juicy palate of cherries and plums.
