WINE Ben Johnston is a true Francophile and his list is the list of a real patron who only buys and sells the wines he loves. One might also reasonably suspect that Johnston is also in the process of building a formidable restaurant cellar with a wonderful back vintage list. Typically, he opens great bottles at random to sell by the glass happily knowing that what the clientele doesn’t consume in a day he surely will enjoy at the end of the day. The Australian wines listed are mainly favourites, all Australian benchmark examples of the varietal and show a real determination to find interesting quality wines. The list at Dom is very sexy. Whilst there is ample opportunity for indulgence on Johnston’s list wines by the glass start at just $9 and more expensive offer the welcome opportunity to taste a much more expensive wine where a bottle might not be within the budget but a glass can be written off to wine education without a so much as a second’s bad conscience.
the art of Steve Langdon is well worth a look!
