飲澳洲酒唔識Henschke,就好似飲波爾多酒唔識五大。
這晚好朋友於半島酒店嘉麟樓舉辦wine appreciation dinner 預演,帶來南澳第一名莊 HENSCHKE的醇酒,酒莊一共有4塊葡萄園,其中位於Hill of Grace的葡萄園佔地8公頃,主要種植Shiraz、Riesling和Semillon;而Hill of Grace 更入選《Decanter》雜誌「人生必喝100大名釀之一」
HENSCHKE已經有150年歷史,是法國酒莊的釀酒師利用法國釀酒工藝在澳洲釀製,所以佢比起其他澳洲新世界酒就有其獨特之處,亦非大量生產,在市面上亦比較難買到。
Hill of Grace 是Henschke酒莊最著名的酒款,來自一塊獨特的歷史名園,佢嘅葡萄樹早於1860年已種植,採用無蓋發酵槽, 自然動力法,加上不干預的釀酒方式,以手採葡萄釀造,Hill of Grace 第一個年份為1958年,亦即係首發已經係用「百年老藤」的葡萄釀造而成。
Hill of Grace以細緻的配制工藝令產量極低,酒身多呈黑櫻桃色,略有紫調,散發著黑莓和桑葚的迷人芬芳,同時具有些許杉木香味,烘托出洋李乾、李子、黑櫻桃、雪松以及巧克力的香氣,充滿異國風味香氣。層次複雜而奇特,口感豐腴,果味濃郁,風味凝練,結構平衡,尾韻悠長,單寧絲滑,是澳洲Shiraz葡萄酒的經典之作。
有人說,Grange和Hill of Grace的最大分別係只要有錢,便可以買到Grange;而Hill of Grace則是有錢都未必可以買得到,而今晚這枝2006年是Cellar Reserve 更顯珍貴,據說香港已經沒有貨了; Hill of Grace vintage 市面只有2016年。
今年澳洲酒因為出口至國內有所阻滯,所以可以買到澳洲靚酒的機會也多咗,今晚除咗枝Hill of Grace 之外,枝2016 Henschke Innes Vineyard Pinot Gris 香氣甜美,配甲殼類海鮮如鮑魚及蠔都一絕。另一枝2001 Henschke Cyril Cabernet Sauvignon 表現出類似波爾多的苦澀煙草香味、伴有甘草、香料、黑加倫子和甜櫻桃,配味道香濃中帶甜的野菌桂花脆皮乳鴿髀,更能帶出其優雅、明亮、熱情的個性。

Bring a Good Report
“They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there. Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.” Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!” But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”” (Numbers 13:27-33 WEB)
The twelve men Moses sent out to spy the land were princes of each respective tribe of Israel.
Ten spies brought back an evil report of the land, whereas only Joshua and Caleb gave a good report.
These princes who were leaders of the tribes can represent spiritual leaders like pastors who are entrusted with God’s flocks.
Pastors should not be preaching fear as if the enemy is so much stronger than us.
“Be careful, or the devil will get you. The devil is very crafty and the whole world is under his sway.”
When a pastor keeps talking about the devil, is he really preaching the Gospel which produces faith, or preaching the bad news of the devil which produces fear?
Spiritual leaders ought not to mislead their congregations this way.
While the ten spies saw large and fortified cities built by giants as a scary obstacle, Joshua and Caleb were excited, seeing those cities as their soon-to-be possessions to house the children of Israel.
The ten spies were focusing on how large and imposing the giants were, but Joshua and Caleb were only conscious of how mighty Yahweh is, and they believed that He would give them the victory.
“Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes. They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey. Only don’t rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us. Don’t fear them.” But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. Yahweh’s glory appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel. Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?” (Numbers 14:6-11 WEB)
Joshua and Caleb were free from fear because they believed that Yahweh was on their side.
When there is an imposing challenge in your path that has the potential for huge gains, see the Lord generously giving the victory to you. If it is truly an exceedingly good land, and the Lord brought you to that point, He will also supply you with the grace to overcome all difficulties.
While the ten princes saw themselves as grasshoppers in the giants’ sight, Joshua and Caleb saw the giants as bread to be easily devoured! Two drastically different beliefs because the ten princes did not have faith in Yahweh, whereas Joshua and Caleb believed in Him.
In the end, the glory of the Lord appeared and He rebuked the people for their bad opinion of Him and the unbelief in their hearts.
Even though He had worked mighty signs and wonders in Egypt, the Red Sea, and in the wilderness, the children of Israel were so hard-hearted that they forgot all the amazing things that the Lord had done for them.
If you have been entrusted with leadership over God’s people, make sure you are preaching the Gospel (good news) to them, painting a vision of a good God who loves His people and who is mighty to save in any situation. Christians don’t need any more negativity or fear—they already get that from the world in their daily lives.
When you encounter a new challenge, focus on the bigness of your God, not on the strength of your enemies. No matter what shape, size, or form they come in, God is still more powerful than all of them combined, and He will give you the victory when you trust in Him.
A new faith declaration: “The size or power of my enemy is irrelevant because my God is so much greater than any enemy. My God is with me and I am victorious through Him who loves me!”
Keep studying God’s word and growing in your understanding of His ways. Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.
By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord!

You are the Light of the World
“As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud, and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.” (John 9:1-7 WEB)
The disciples who did not have the power to heal, were discussing why the man was born blind.
Sometimes people have a tendency to talk as if they know what is going on, assuming things that they know nothing about.
We make up all sorts of smart-sounding explanations for why things happen, when only God knows the truth.
The disciples asked whether the man sinned such that he was blind from birth. It is either that they believed in reincarnation (the false concept of past lives), or acting smart has just made them really foolish. How can an unborn person sin so that they are born blind?
Jesus was not interested to discuss about sin. He wanted to talk about God and to release God’s power.
In stark contrast to the disciples, Jesus is solution oriented. He knew He had the power to heal the man and doing that was His priority.
Jesus gave us a pattern to follow. Night is coming upon this world—a time of great tribulation. The church won’t be here to do the works of God to restrain the power of evil.
“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 WEB)
While we are still in the world, we are the light of the world. Say this now: “I am the light of the world, for the Spirit of Christ dwells in me.”
You have the responsibility to shine since you have this light. God has sent you to be a bearer of His light. Pray for people and be a conduit for God’s power to flow through to the world. Do good whenever God gives you the opportunity. Be solution-focused like Jesus!
See God’s love and grace for you in all the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ, and receive bold faith for more miracles in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles
