“Death is only going to happen to you once; I don’t want to miss it.” — Jim Morrison


In the seconds before death, your life is supposed to flash before your eyes
The last photo album of an innocent bystander.
Some of us will be here for a long time.
Others for just a good time.
Like our wines.
We’ve spent our lives striving to grow and make great wines.
Still working at it.

Meanwhile, what really counts?
A great impression…fond memories…was it fun?

We hope, that like the bystander, these wines tread gently, judge nobody and most of all,
leave a lasting impression.

Don’t let your life flash before your eyes without sampling Innocent Bystander.  The Innocent Bystander Victoria Pinot Gris 2009 has great acidity with the aromas and flavors of pear, green apple, lime and a touch of minerals. Having a Sunday Brunch? The perfect pairing is Eggs Florentine. The music match is “The End” by The Doors from their eponymous album.

The details: 13.5% alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Actual retail is about $15 USD. Imported to the US by Old Bridge Cellars. This wine was a media sample provided by Banfi for the Wine Communicators of Australia and Rick Bakas Community Wine Tastings coordinated by Mastermind Consulting.

Innocent Bystander do some pretty funky marketing but also have some good substance. If you get to Australia, head to Melbourne and make the time to get to the cellar door. Modern architecture, with stainless steel and glass, housing a winery were everything is open to see. The cellar door is in a huge open area, with wine tasting, coffee roasting and wood fire pizzas cooking going on.

Thanks so much for the tip.
Coffee, wine and pizza?
How could I miss that?

Cheers!

Innocent Bystander comes with a modern taste and reinvents the Victorian pinot taste.
