The Postcard from Madeira read; “When all is lost Far out at sea Reach for a Madiera.” It was written in sparkling gold “Texta” and posted to Mathew & Flinders Wine Merchants, Victoria by Georgia Best (attorney at law.) This private joke would become the less than private “Lost Wine Degustation Society” and features the customers, staff, family and friends of the shop, Mathews & Flinders Wine Merchants. Wine folk all, with tales to tell. Tales of places sun drenched in wine. Beach side cafe’s and Languedoc hills. A novel about friendship, love and longing, exploring the concept of belonging in this country, in this town and in the “Lost Wine Degustation Society.”
