We often hear the Italian term la dolce vita. But what does it actually mean? While it literally translates to 'the sweet life', we often interpret it as 'the good life'. What is the good life for you? Of course, in the glorious world that we inhabit, that of culinary and vinous pleasures, scored highly on the 'good life' scale, but for many, like cover star Guy Grossi, food +wine is simply the adjunct to the greatest pleasures in his life. For one of the world's most awarded chefs, Massimo Bottura, food not only gives pleasure, but is also a vehicle that can drive social change. Maggie Beer looks at prolonging the good life in her latest work with medical expert Professor Ralph Martins as they examine the effect wholesome food can have on warding off dementia. Of course, with such a strong Italian focus, we had to feature some delicious Italian recipes: Melbourne's Johnny Di Francesco gives us a taste of Naples, while Lyndey Milan serves up Puglia on a plate. In wine, we ask our Members to give us their thoughts on contemporary Chardonnay, enjoy a dream vertical with the De Bortoli family in the Yarra Valley and celebrate 50 fabulous years of the Margaret River wine region.  With all that on your plate and in your glass, all I can say ask of you is to enjoy your 'good life', whatever that may be. Salut!

We honour our greatest ever varietal in our Salute to Shiraz with Australia's First Families of Wine, and wine writer Tyson Stelzer details the alluring lustre of the 'great Australian red', Shiraz Cabernet. Then we pack our bags and head off for an Adelaide Hills feast and have fun with Ben O’Donoghue’s guide to Brisbane.
