The Lost Wines Degustation Society - Cole Brien

The postcard from Madeira read:

"When all is lost

Far out at sea

Reach for a Madeira"

It was written in sparkling gold "Texta" and posted to Mathew ' Flinders Wine Merchants, Fairhaven, Victoria by Georgia Best (attorney at law.) Thus beginning the private joke which would become the less than private "Lost Wines Degustation Society."

Also featuring the customers, staff, and family and friends of the shop, Mathew ' Flinders Wine Merchants. Wine folk all, with tales to tell. Tales of places sun drenched in wine. Beach side cafes 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 Wines Degustation Society."

Brien Cole is a winemaker from the Mornington Peninsula.
