ooby_dooby: OK, I wish to restate what I said about Australian wine. I've been exposed to Australian wine only twice at a couple of fund raisers. I don't know what it was except it had a kangaroo on the label. There were 3 different kinds. I tried 2 of them 1 red and 1 white. The red tasted like brake fluid and the white tasted like unleaded gasoline. I was thinking that the kangaroo was somehow instrumental in providing the raw material that the wine was made of if you get my drift. I would be willing to try some again but I wont be drinking near an open flame.
I've probably never had GOOD Australian wine so I'll keep an open mind. Pleasant surprises are always welcome.
Good man. I kind of figured, well, could only be based on bad experience way read it.
Wine is so very complicated, but yet so very simple. It's the rich majestic which the posh can never take away from being the common man's magic.
You might have had a $20 a glass Aussie wine, but if it wasn't your cup of tea (just to not alienate the bloke further up the thread who preferred tea) and it might have tasted crap to you. And it’s fair. But what I was against was to compare a whole country supply against another. It’s like asking… is the art of Persia better or worse than the art of France?
