This month’s edition of The Drop takes us to Wineism in Albion, Brisbane, where locals come together to explore, sip and learn about wine in a way that feels relaxed, personal and just a little adventurous.
Founded by Ian and Liz Trinkle, with a passion for both wine and hospitality, Wineism isn’t your typical wine bar. While every bottle is carefully curated from the finest Australian and international vineyards. French, Spanish, Italian varietals and beyond, it’s the experience around the wine that sets the venue apart. From small plates to artisanal bites, the seasonal menu is designed to complement the wine, and everything on offer is something the team genuinely enjoys themselves.
As the day shifts, Wineism transforms into a hub for both casual sippers and serious wine lovers. Sommeliers and wine experts are on hand to guide guests through tastings, share insights, and foster connections with fellow enthusiasts. The bar becomes a place to linger, to learn, and to appreciate the story behind each bottle.
Whether you’re there for a casual afternoon glass, a thoughtfully paired plate, or one of Wineism’s engaging educational events, the venue offers a space where your wine journey can expand naturally, with hospitality at the heart of every pour.
