When the farmer calls

When The Farmer Calls by Campbell Mattinson. Copyright.

Image title is 'when the farmer calls' by Campbell Mattinson. It's a picture of cows running over a hill in dusty, grassy terrain near Wangaratta in north-east Victoria. This photogra was taken in my first six weeks as an avid photographer, in March 2018. I’ve played around with this image over the years and while there’s a “colour grade” applied here, there’s nothing else been done to the image other than some minor cropping. I’ve definitely processed this a lot heavier in the past but the image is better without it. I’m still tempted to dodge and burn it though (grin).

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
