Brinktop Pinot Noir wins Gold in London. When one of the wines from my backyard wins an award like this, then I get excited. Big congrats to Todd and Jill. Their 2024 Pinot Noir is a single site coal River Valley wine

Our black stainless steel and stemless wine glass, is perfect for any outdoor occasion.
Personally these stemless tumblers have been my go to for a while, when it comes outdoor drinking. The wine tastes better and it keeps the wine cooler for longer, than many others vessels.
Oh yes, I quite like the way they look too.
Cheers Joe
