If you're searching for a Winter Wonderland of delicious red wines, you just found it. The kind of reds that will warm the veritable cockles and keep you all snugly on the nights that the Met Office get it horribly wrong and a freezing cold front blows in.
Each wine is chosen to be in this case because they under-charge and over-deliver, including a smooth Montepulciano, a spicy Shiraz and an award-winnng Grenache-based Tinto.
So if you want to ensure that the forthcoming chills of January and windy breezes of February are kept at bay, then you need to grab yourself a case of these cracking wines.
This is made by a lovely guy called Rex, whose family have been handling grapes for over three generations in Orange, New South Wales. You won't find many bottles with as much experience, understanding, love and attention crammed in them than this.
It's genuinely a wonder how he's managed to cram so much spicy, peppery, juicy plum flavours into the one bottle.
It loves, Pizza, craves a leg of lamb, but is fundamentally screaming out for a big juicy steak.
In the film 'Sideways', Merlot gets a bad rap. This cheeky 'ickle number should pretty much prove any sceptic (US citizens included) of the folly that such idle talk can be. This is a bundle of ripe, cherry and redcurrant joy.
Angel sponsored, it's cracking value. You may think we've gone mad, but trust us, we haven't. We're teetering on the edge mind you...
When you pop the cork on this, you need to make sure you are accidentally in the vicinity of a humongous leg of slow roasted lamb, preferably with a roast potato or ten.
American winemaker Stephen makes some of the New World's most sought after wines. Very unlike the over-done fruit bombs you've come to expect, this modern shiraz is ultra clean.
When we asked Stephen to make us a little something in his spare time, he jumped at the chance. He gets to be his own boss and you get his top-shelf talent at middle-shelf prices.
Stephen's already working his magic in the vineyard ready for next year's wines. Give him your feedback NOW so he can make the 2012 vintage even more fabulous
