Matt Hodgson's Picks

🥊 Under $30 and Punching Above Their Weight 


By now, you’ve probably heard at least one of us recommend this Frappato — it’s a true Bishop’s staple. If you haven’t tried it yet and you’re reading this, consider it a sign: pick up a bottle. The time is now!

This Sicilian red is light in body but bursting with flavour — the kind of bottle that fits just about any occasion. Pizza night? Check. Cracking open that new board game from Christmas? Check. Heading to a dinner party and have no idea what’s on the menu? Also check.
