Just a short note to thank our Antipodean cousins for their vinicultural excellence. I am just getting into a really nice 2000 Callara Park Shiraz/Malbec/Mourvedre, and as for Devils Lair Pinot Noir.................mmmmmmm [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
Btw, for our younger readers, just substitute your favourite soda/fruit drink/beverage for the above [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Hmmm, since you brought it up, which is your favourite:
Red wine or white??? I've always preferred white myself, pleasant, though not as full-bodied as red, and not too dry.

Heh, I prefer red wine, it's far more tasty then white imo.
My friend just brought me a bottle of Austrialian red last week. Very good, hadn't had Aussie wine before. I forgot the brand but it came with a little kangaroo on the neck

We do have excellent wine in Australia. Personally, I'm not a red drinker. But I've been known to dabble with a white....or two....or three. [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]

Forget the snob value of "Old World" wines - some of the most exciting and best value for money vintages are now coming from Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina etc.
Happy quaffing [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]

I prefer white myself. If I do drink red it will be an Australian: Cabernet Sauvignon
