JohnO Are you a WineO

Hey John,
    I'm a huge Red Wine Fan and I think Australian Reds are the best in the world.  I mainly drink Shiraz and was wondering in Australia what is the best Shiraz out there.
Here in Canada the #1 selling wine is the Wolfblass line with the Yellow Label being #1.  I don't want to fall into the "Fosters" conundrum were here in Canada we think it's the best while in Australia it's crap

P.S. I don;t think your a wineO just wanted to have some fun

 

Jason ( hic )

Nothing at all wrong with the Wolf Blass lines, have a look here:

A good general rule is, if it comes from South Australia then it is generally a good drop

If you ever make it over here mate, I promise to take you on a ride on the "Rutherglen Red" which is a steam train that takes you on a tour of some of the Victorian Wineries, meals and live music on board while you are travelling, and when you return you just pour yourself off the train and stumble home

Cheers

John

That statement only applies to the wine though, right?

 

Thanks John,
I sure hope I can take you up on the Tour some day. I will look for Peter Lehmann , I think I have seen it but passed it up due to $$.

Thanks again

Correct They often say that South Australians are just Tasmanians who can swim

More than happy to send you over a bottle or six if it helps
