For the Aussies

I've been meaning to post this for some time, but it just kept slipping my mind. You Aussies make some great wine! My wife bought a bottle of Merlot from south Australia for Valentine's Day. It was really good.

The beer's good also, but I think maybe a bit stronger than the American beer.

I expect things are different now, but I remember being in an Aussie bar around 1960:

One of our group:

"Two pale ales, one brown ale, two milk stouts and a Guinness, please"

Barman:

"We got Australian beer - take it or leave it !"

Pete,
You should try Leeuwin Estate, Tyrrell's Reserve, Mt. Jagged, or my favorite, the '99 Yarra Yering.

My wife and daughter try to get to Hunter Valley whenever my wife gets down there to visit. One of their favorites is 'Robsons'. though I think my daughter told her mom that 'Robsons' is no longer around.......I'm a beer man and I don't care if it's Australian or American as long as it's cold!

As a native of South Australia I guess I would have to agree with you there Pete
