Extraordinary Australian's	Permalink
Posted by Andrew Chapman in Wine Tasting Notes - April 29th 2008 5:48pm. Leave a comment Haven't blogged in a couple of days... managed to over-do it in garden Sunday to extent of aggravating my dodgy back, and compounded it being catching some nasty bug yesterday. Yuk! However, I was just reading various Blogs that I follow (laptop perched on bed, cup of tea in hand... not the image most people have of a wine merchant!) and came across this posting from Jamie Goode over at his Blog on Wineanorak. He was highlighting various top Aussie wines. As many of you will know, we are big fans of Australia and New Zealand here at Surf4Wine (but also other wines, in case you think we are overly New World centric... look out for in-depth Spain feature coming soon!) . It was great to see a lot of the wines that we have rated highly in recent years included in the tasting, and tasting good. A good article, and worth a look :)

Matthew Jukes 100 Best Australian Wines 2007 (part 1)	Permalink
Posted by Andrew Barrow in Wine Tasting Notes - August 1st 2007 2:59pm. Leave a comment We are ecstatic that several of our wines have been featured in the Matthew Jukes 100 Best Australian Wines 2007. Shaw & Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2006 [£9.99] "Half genial, fruit driven charmer and half demented axe-wielding nutter - this wine can be drunk with the spiciest Zuma-blessed creations, or sipped with the Queen and an innocent cucumber sandwich. How are you feeling today? This wine has the answers" Cullen Chardonnay 2004 [£24.85] "Vanya is in tune with her vineyards and her wines and this Chardonnay shows this rare and superb partnership in all its glory. Chardonnay is so easy to make well ,but incredibly difficult to make brilliantly. Cullen improves and augments its holistic recipe every year and the results are amazing." SC Pannell Grenache Rosé 2006 [£8.99] "Steve Pannell probably doesn't really want a rosé in the 100 Best 'cos he makes such smart reds (read on). But this is just too much of a temptation for me and besides very few people understand Grenache the way he does. The result is a strawberry (fruit and hull) concoction of unnerving beauty and purity - it will be drunk by men too!" Charles Melton Rose of Virginia 2006 [£12.99] "With succulent, bruised plum fruit and a mass of soy sauce sweet and sour moments, Charlie has bolted another turbo unit to the back of his beloved rosé (sorry, deep, rich, 'red' coloured wine) and it is a joy to behold. Strap yourself in for a hilarious ride." I think these notes speak for themselves; five more tomorrow!
