Wines for Widescreens

5 Minute Matches – September Where have you been?! Busy. Specifically – busy passing my WSET Level 2 Award in Wine with Distinction. Yay! Anyway, I’ve realised that sometimes a pairing doesn’t need an entire analysis &#8…

Introducing... 5 Minute Matches! In only a few words, I’ll take five movies, and find five wines to match with them – as a quick way to show you what I have been watching and/or drinking recently.

Guys... did I tell you I passed my WSET Level 2 with Distinction? 👀🍷

New post will be out soon!

I apologise for the lack of content recently! I have been focused on studying, and frankly, I had an episode planned and mostly written that required a lot of wines and foods that is just a big ask for me at the moment. That is on the backburner and something new will be on the way soon!

Friends, I have officially just come out of my WSET Level 2 exam. I cannot say I did the absolute best - I struggled quite a bit with the region names - however, I have confidence that I have passed. 🍷 I will let you all know when I have my results!

I am very excited to be entering this world - it might take a bit more time, but that's okay! Anything worth doing will be a bit difficult, and I know this is worth it! 🍷

With my courses moved up, I will complete WSET Lv 2 by the end of May!

Stay tuned for a new blog post in the coming weeks! 🎬

I am very new to wine. Almost no one in my life drinks wine on a consistent basis, or has a strong knowledge of regions and other information. I only started drinking wine in the past year, so I will need to spend a lot of time studying in order to learn and pass my Lv 2 exam.

Yesterday, I completed WSET Lv 1, however in all honesty it was a lot more daunting than I expected - particularly the geography and naming element. 🍷

I have a lot to learn, but that's what I'm here for!

The Man From Snowy River & Blue Pinot Gris “To our two romantics. To one who sees what is, and one who sees what can be. Lord grant that the two are compatible.” – Mr. Patterson As a self-proclaimed patriot, I knew I couldn’t back dow…

As a self-proclaimed patriot, I knew I couldn’t back down from the idea of showing off an Australian film and an Australian wine in one go. Today, we are looking at a staple in this viewing catalogue – George T. Miller’s The Man From Snowy River.

Friends, I have some wonderful news! I am taking a new step into my wine journey, and I will soon be starting a WSET qualification.

I will be completing my Level 1 Award in Wine in early June. Watch this space! 🍷📜

Hello everyone! I just wanted to apologise for the lack of content since our first review in February. My personal life has kicked into full gear since then. 😁

I have another review almost finished, however I am waiting to fully recover from my current cold before I drink any alcohol.

Soon! 🎞🍷

Porco Rosso & Maretti Chianti “I’d rather be a pig than a fascist.” Porco Rosso *please note that this analysis is based on the English dub of Porco Rosso In today’s age, dissatisfaction in the world aro…

Porco Rosso is a beautiful and stylised character study into guilt, rebellion and staying true to what you believe - and a medium-bodied, savoury Italian red fits perfectly in that world. 🐷✈️🇮🇹

Welcome to Wines for Widescreens! 🎞️🍷

This is a personal project I am pursuing so I can not only retain my knowledge and skills of writing and filmmaking, but to make a start on my newest endeavor – wine.
