Good Food month presents Jacobs Creek

Jacobs Creek winery is in the Barossa Valley in South Australia. Here they are all about friendship and good company. They sponsor major events like the Australian Open. They have been around for 140 years.


Here I tried a few different wines such as the 2009 Dry Aged Shiraz. This was out of their double barrel range meaning that it had that woody taste to it.  It is a dry wine which smells like cherries and chocolate. Hence this works well with winter dishes. I tried it with a summer salad and a winter chicken drumstick. I have to say this works better with the winter (citrusy) chicken drumstick.

It actually works well with the cheddar cheese. They really thought about the wine and food pairings noting each on their site. It also works well with the berries as they have a distinct berry taste and smell.

Do continue to support Jacobs Creek and you can buy the range at your local bottle shop.
