“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

PETAGNA LA FAMIGLIA LUNCH DRY RUN


Paul and Angela Petagna of Sellicks Hill Wines had the second test run of a series of la Famiglia long table lunches they plan with Annika Berlingieri at their vineyard and winery on Sellicks in spring and through the summer. Watch their website for news of when these begin. First trial runs both rocked!

Although we were snug inside by the pot belly with a perfect slow repast and good folks kept coming in for a taste and purchase, the weather was extreme ... here's a snap of Aldinga on the way home ... bottom is some little Petagnas on a sunnier day, bouncin' round in the wind at Inkwell with their home patch at Sellicks behind them where the Front Hills dive into the Gulf St Vincent, which is usually a calm, flat water ...  photos by Philip White


... and on other days, Ange, Paul and Annika:
