Hello and welcome

What are Small Winemakers’ Tasting Dozens (SWTDs)?

SWTDs are quarterly mixed dozens selected, assembled and delivered each February, May, August and November. Originally they focussed ‘mainly’ on small Australasian proprietor makers, while maintaining the essential freedom to include wines of interest from the larger companies where small scale winemaking also happens. When an interesting international wine pops up, I will also include it. As a collection they’re wines of pedigree.

Assemblage

The first Dozen was in May 1998, and since then the original approach has blossomed to be the most enduring strength of the Dozens. “Ask around,” I thought, was the way to go, and today input for selection for each Dozen has a broad reference base and is made up of winemakers, wineheads (some older and very wise while others are a little younger, though very enthusiastic), and of course those participating in the Dozens, form a resource that is full of wonderful surprises. Also a few of the better company reps have been long time friends of the Dozens and regularly add value and knowledge. The result is:
