What readers like you say about us

As the author of A to Z of Dementia Care, I am so glad this so well researched book is available to us boomers and our children. I highly recommend it to everyone young or old.

Isabel Baker, Author of 'A to Z of Dementia Care'

I’m so grateful for how you squeezed so much material into such a compact package and still made it easy to read. I’m recommending this ebook to all my friends.

J Cutcliffe, Springfeild, QLD

This is a no-nonsense must-read for everyone – not just baby boomers.  Do yourself a huge favour and read this book and then tell others about it.

L Robertson, Salisbury, NSW

I reversed my dementia symptoms but my doctor didn’t believe me. Thrilled that you’ve written an ebook on this subject, Kim. 

Lea N, Batemans Bay, NSW

I’m a Naturopath & Yoga Therapist and found your ebook very thorough and evidenced. I’ve summarised the chapters and quote them to my clients.

Keri Hogarth, Naturopath, Haberfield, NSW

I was a palliative care specialist nurse before I retired. I saw first hand the devastation this disease can cause for patients but also their carers. Your ebook and advice are invaluable.

Lindsay M, Shepperton, VIC

We boomers are very fortunate that you’ve put your time into research and provided us with such detailed information on which to make decisions. A very worthwhile purchase!

Vanda C, Newmarket, QLD

I was amazed and impressed by the depth of research studies the author referenced, including valuable links to them. This provided a wealth of substantiated information.

L Wendt, Mentone, VIC

I read widely on health issues including research papers. Mostly, they’re long, boring and hard to read. I couldn’t put this e-book down. Well done, Kim!

C Norman, Thirroul, NSW

About Kim

In another passion, for 10 years Kim’s been helping people drink less and pay less for better quality wine. Here’s what subscribers say.  

Kim is an outspoken defender of truth, justice and value-for-money in wine and I highly respect his opinions, his passion and his convictions.

Huon Hook, Wine Writer

The guys I deal with all respect your opinion and unbiased approach, as I do, Kim.

Darryl Pratt, Wine Direct

A very handy and well-thought-out mailer. It’s very hard to find truly independent wine advice like this, not to mention the savings.

Scott T, BWW Subscriber

Very happy to pay this small fee for what is the best weekly wine mailer on offer. Keep up the great work.

Braydon Mac, BWW Subscriber

Just purchased a mixed case from Kemeny’s on your advice – and saved an amazing $119 on one order. Can’t wait to see how much I save in a year.

Peter D, BWW Subscriber

Last year I used your Best Buys to pre-order 6 months’ supply of wine to be shipped to me overseas. What a treat! Thanks for the great resource.

Bec B, BWW Subscriber

Kim is a fearless advocate for truth and value for wine consumers. Follow him and you’ll be informed and entertained, too.

Peter Bourne, The Wine Man

It’s great having someone I trust to find me really good wines at absolute bargain prices.

I Anderson, BWW Subscriber

Huge devotion! Weekly updates! A great result and a really useful consumer service. You deserve all the goodwill you’ve gained.

Warren Mason, Sydney International Wine Competition

About How We Work

Before M&M, for 30 years we simplified BioMed, BioTech & IT research for non-technical audiences. Here’s what corporate clients said.

The science had to be technically and legally correct as well as able to be understood by non-scientists. I can’t think of anyone else who could have done this.

Dr Peter French, Benitec Biopharma

I can’t imagine how hard it was to make these White Papers such a pleasure to read. Not what I expected from technical writing, I can tell you.

Tony Heitmeyer, CIBIS

I was looking for someone who would do a professional job. For me that meant acting as if they owned the company. Tracey and Kim did that.

Andrew Stein, PolicyPoint

Tracey and Kim have really rare skills. They can convert a mountain of complex information into something everyone can understand.

Catherine White, Roche Diagnostics

Very impressed with how you work. You’ve given us what we’ve needed for a very long time:  what we do explained in plain English.

Sue Ranson, CommandHub

We need providers who understand our business and don’t need supervision. You’ve proven this many times and it’s why we regard you as trusted partners.

Peter Kazakos, PKBA

Tracey is an absolute genius at this. She translates technobabble into simple speak so our non-technical buyers understand what we do.  

Paul Howdle, Loyalty Magic

Tracey’s no geek. She has an uncanny way of ‘getting’ complexity and describing it in simple terms. Geeks can’t do that.

Neville Perce, Cybernet

I was impressed by the discipline, technical effort and understanding that was obvious in the first draft. I didn’t expect it to be entertaining, too.

Russell Warren, Milestone Group

The big surprise, as you say Kim, is there is literally no relationship between price and quality in the wine world. The $10 Azahara you recommended for our farewell party was ridiculously good.

Customer Reviews

Clive Davidson 

Lisa and I have an annual Xmas dinner for twenty of our closest friends and your BWW delivers the goods every year. Not a bad bottle ever. Keep up the great work, mate.

David Jackson  

I would never have found the Dandelion Vineyards Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling at Aldi for $15:00. I was down to the last two bottles and they had cost $20. Well done, Kim. Happy to recommend BWW to any person who wants fair, balanced ratings on good wines and where to buy them at bargain prices.
Customer Reviews

Carl Shipton

Didn’t know some of the wines, but I was blown away by the quality available for this kind of money. I’ve paid a lot more for labels I know and been hugely disappointed.

I buy wine for about a dozen families, for a company and for myself, with current cellar stock 1500 bottles. Your advice is a highly valued and reliable bench mark and, by the way, I am not a connoisseur collector but a consumer. I say drink and enjoy (in moderation of course)!

Customer Reviews

Bill Walter  

I continue  to buy and taste  on your recommendations and thoroughly enjoying the experience and to date, not one disappointment. Don’t plan to retire soon!

Customer Reviews

Phil Harris 

Congratulations, Kim. You’ve been an invaluable source of information and I have no doubt that I am drinking better wine as result. Having only lived in Australia for 5 years, you’ve really given me an appreciation of how much great wine this country produces. So much so that I now can take a bottle to dinner with friends who have many more years of wine experience than myself and even raise a few compliments on my selections. Safe to say I think you can a lot of the credit for that!

Customer Reviews

Nick Page

Been looking for years for someone who concentrates on the value end of the wine market. It’s written from the right perspective and reduces the legwork needed to find good wines. Thank you.

Customer Reviews

Doug B

You have a gift for wine description that mercifully avoids all the bullshit about the aromatic nuances of pear skins and Virginia tobacco leaf … Enjoying the prices, too.

Customer Reviews

Brodie Scanlan

You do great work and I wouldn’t miss your Weekly for quids. We’ve bought many 12 packs based on your lists and every bottle has been a hit.

Customer Reviews

Stuart McC

Since I subscribed a month or two ago, I’ve used your alerts to guide all my wine buying and they’ve all been good choices. Now I find myself looking forward to reading the mailer on Friday afternoon. 

Customer Reviews

Sarah P

A brilliant service, takes all the leg work out of choosing great wines.

Customer Reviews

Aunty Jack

I read with great interest every week all the wines you recommend.  I am a big fan of Riesling especially Leo Burings but have enjoyed your other recommendations Frogmore, Claymore and Heemskerk.  I buy all my wines through Kemenys as I like to support the independent wine suppliers.

Customer Reviews

James T

Bought some of the Hilltops Shiraz (hidden label) from Kemenys after reading your recommendation. Excellent choice. Love your mailer. Thanks.

 

Customer Reviews

Four times my annual subscription saved in one transaction! How good is that, Kim?

Customer Reviews

Lambert D
I’ve ordered a couple of 6-packs from your great list of value wines. I have about 500 wines racked up in my cellar but continually need drink-now wines for daily consumption.  However, some of your suggestions are making me wonder whether I need to buy more racks … Thanks.

 

Customer Reviews

Kellie Grove
I impressed my husband…..I bought the last 6 bottles of 2015 Lizzie at our cellar.  I have also introduced him to your website.  He was very amused with some of your comments. He is now looking forward to your weekly email, too.  Keep up the great work. 

Customer Reviews

Tim Humphries

Thanks Kim, what a ripping mailer. I suspect my bank account will suffer, but the quality of wine will improve and my stockpile might also grow!  Thanks again.

 

Customer Reviews

Keith Hockly
Emailed Darryl from WineDirect re the shiraz special and got a call back within ten minutes to organise the sale. Friendly professional service. Glad I signed up.  Impressed so far!

Customer Reviews

David Klease
I usually avoid South American wine like the plague. However I went on a limb and trusted your advice on  Montes limited selection in today’s Friday mail out. For $10, it is very, very good.  Nice work Kim!!

I enjoy your weekly email immensely and purchased a case of Wynns Coonawarra Cab Sauv from Winestar in a seamless transaction. I’m your latest fan.

Great mailer! I love it and find it really useful when buying wine – you do all the leg work for me.

Really enjoying your mailer. It’s independent, refreshingly honest, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Customer Reviews

Great work on the mailer – provides a great service to those of us who have never really developed their expertise. We need to be saved from ourselves and our irrational way of making wine purchases. Really enjoy the price/quality ratio.

Customer Reviews

I’ve been thinking about exactly this model for a number of years. Well done, Kim. Great work.
