Wine Week 151: Good from d’A to X
Lost your shirt in the financial crisis? Tyrrell’s Lost Block Semillon might be just the answer. It’s a great semillon made by a top Hunter Valley producer but perhaps the best bit is just how inexpensive it is! And speaking of inexpensive, Xabregas have released a show reserve Shiraz from the same vintage as their Jimmy Watson short listed year. But at under $30 for a Great (Southern) Shiraz it’s ripper value. To round things out we check back in on a family favourite. d’Arenberg’s Laughing Magpie certainly hits the spot, and they say laughter is the best medicine!
This week’s recommendations are:
- Tyrrell’s Lost Block Semillon 2008 ($10-15)
- Xabregas Show Reserve Shiraz 2007 ($23-26)
- d’Arenberg Laughing Magpie 2007 ($24-$29)
