Noble Rot, Gary Sees Red! - Issue #35

Noble Rot Issue #35, Gary Sees Red, is a print magazine of wine, food and culture with a long Melbourne feature at its centre.

Melbourne gets the cover treatment after the founders and chef Stephen Harris came out for the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, eating at Flower Drum, Tipo 00, the Carlton Wine Room, Bacash and France-Soir among others. Harris follows with his own reading of Australian restaurant culture, which he rates among the best anywhere in the world. Dan Keeling's vineyard column then turns to Victoria and a handful of its artisanal growers, Place of Changing Winds included. Gary Lineker talks football and cooking, Norman Cook struggles to recall his greatest meal, and Keira Knightley reviews bottles on her birthday.

Australian readers will find this the most relevant issue the title has run, since the reporting is pointed squarely at Melbourne and the Victorian growers. It also makes a useful thing to hand visiting friends who treat the eating here as a novelty.
