Nah, you said number one, I wonder who I can call number two, so I was referring to "The Prisoner" TV series, "Be seeing you" is what people said to each other!!grin

Allen38: Which one do you prefer? Suppose you are in France and in a bar or cafe you are served a bottle of wine with no tags on (and in fact it's Australia made). how do you understand where it is made?


I agree with a lot written on this thread and wouldn't care where a good wine is from.

Hungarian Red thumbs up

Nectar of Gods thumbs up

Ambience, Setting & personal mood. thumbs up

Another very important thing to consider when choosing a wine.

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?

Yes I believe you're right that name rings a bell. Is yellow tail considered good aussie wine? I've seen it on the shelves at Walmart but that may mean nothing.

BTW I'm very disappointed nobody commented on my new pic. Her name is Gretchen and she belongs to a friend of mine up in MA. She told me the hat stayed on all of about 20 seconds before Gretchen chewed it to pieces. rolling on the floor laughing

Hi all, I know Im going to sound boring but when it comes to wine, you can'r beat the French, their wine is superb, a bit pricey but you get what you pay for (IMO),cheers wine

Absolutely no contest.

French wine is the best but you have to spent a lot of money to find the real good stuff or be in the right area in France and find some of the vinyards.

A mouton rothschild,,an aged St emellion or a 78 Nuits St George cannot be beaten by any exported Auusie, Chilean or American wine.

To prove me wrong you'll have to find about $1500,,,lollll.
