“The Lost Wines Degustation Society”

“The message from Madiera was written in sparkling gold “Texta.”

“When all is lost

way out at sea

reach for the Madeira”

It was signed; Georgia Best (attorney at law.)

And addressed to; Mathew@Flinders, Fine Wine Merchants, Fairhaven, Victoria

It was posted from Funchal, Madiera.

And so starts the book, “The lost Wines Degustation Society.” A book about wine and the world of wine, written by a winemaker. A book about postcards, sent to Mathew & Flinders Fine Wine Merchants Fairhaven and displayed on a postcard wall directly above and corresponding to the wines racked below. A book about the customers, staff, family and friends of the shop. Wine folk all and all with tales to tell. Tales of places sun drenched in wine, Beach side cafe’s and the Languedoc hills. It is a story about love, all kinds of love and a story about Lost, all sorts of lost. It is a story about belonging, in this country, in this town, and in the “Lost Wines Degustation Society.
