Stalin's Wine Cellar by John Baker

$34.99 AUD

Available Stock:
2

Category: Wine

In the late 1990s, John Baker was known as a purveyor of quality rare and old wines. Always entrepreneurial and up for adventure, John was the perfect person for an occasional business partner, Andrew Simon, to approach with a mysterious wine list that was foreign to anything John, or his second-in-comm and, Kevin Hopko, had ever come across. The list was discovered to be a comprehensive catalogue of the wine collection of Nicholas II, the last Czar of Russia. The wine had become the property of the state after the Russian Revolution of 1918, during which Nicholas and his entire family were executed. Now owned by Stalin, the wine was discretely removed to a remote Georgian winery when Stalin was concerned the advancing Nazi army might overrun Russia, and inevitably loot artefacts and treasures. Half a century later, the wine was rumoured to be hidden underground and off any known map. John and Kevin embarked on an audacious, colourful and potentially dangerous journey to Georgia to discover if the wines actually existed; if the bottles were authentic and whether the entire collection could be bought and transported to a major London auction house for sale. Stalin's Wine Cellar is a wild, sometimes rough ride in the glamorous world of high end wine. The cast of characters include Stalin, Hitler, Czar Nicholas II and a motley bunch of Georgian businessmen/cowboys toting handguns, in the early days of Russian business development that led to the world of Putin and oligarchs.   ...Show more

Drinking with Chickens - Free-Range Cocktails for the Happiest Hour by Kate Richards

$29.99 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Wine

Drinking with chickens? Whoever heard of such a thing? And yet, it is strangely appealing. Think: goat yoga, but instead of yoga, cocktails (and cheers to that); instead of goats, beauty-queen California chickens who have the run of Kate Richards's house and garden. Do you have to have chickens to make these cocktails? Absolutely not. Are photos of cocktails improved by a chicken photo bomb? By any measure, yes. Kate Richards has a fun, irreverent voice, and she serves up beautiful (highly Instagram-able) cocktails made with veggies, fruits, juices, and other fresh ingredients straight from her garden (or, really, the supermarket; Kate drinks with chickens, so, you know, no judgements here). The fact that her photographs often feature a cute chicken looking sceptical is icing on the cake. Her cocktails are gorgeous, juicy, and unique, yet still very make-able. You may need to make a flavoured simple syrup or infused vodka first but you do not need a whole liquor cabinet of obscure liqueurs, tinctures and quaffs to produce these bright flavours. The garnishes are fanciful and great to include if you live somewhere that's warm year-round, like Southern California and have a garden, as Kate does. But if you don't, you can leave them out and will get no fewer likes in person. ...Show more
