Wine reviews

Here is the first one, Devils Marbles Shiraz, I paid 7.99 for this one Full-bodied, strong, just enough bite to make your mouth water, flavorful. A late autumn walk in the woods in a glass.

The next one is:
Yellow Tail Shiraz Reserve: It is so worth the 2 extra dollars! I think this one was $11.99 USD.









Here is the third one:






This one was an interesting pick, They were running a special buy 3 get them for $7.00 dollars each. So I did just that and was surprised with here reaction to it. Sometimes you luck out and get a decent bottle of wine at a good price and this was the case here. "It's lovely. Doesn't have the edge but it does have the bite. It's nice. I can taste the grapes. Tastes like Indian summer."

So as you can see it is possible to have great tasting wine for not that much money. Life is too short to drink crappy wine! Live a little! As my Grandfather and Winemaker would say" Elogios" which is Portuguese for Cheers!

remember the words of Pliny the Elder" In Vino Veritas"

Apparently Australian wineries are going to start using more expensive grapes in their cheaper wines because of the global economic downturn. Nice to know some good is going to come from the economic crisis. Even better for you guys with the Australian dollar the way it is. Your Australian wine isn't available in Australia but it is grown near the Coonawarra region, the limestone coast is a pretty big area, however not big enough to encompass the Devil's Marbles which are 2000km north near Tennant Creek!
