Wine Week 165: Australian Rules.
We’re ready for the start of the 2010 Australia Football League (AFL) season, but before we head off to the MCG to watch Essendon take on Geelong we thought we might check out a couple of wines.
We bounce the ball by looking at a wine that impressed at our recent tasting: The Clonakilla Riesling. A lovely drop that reminds Danny of sherbet. Brad looks a performer that’s proven itself on the big stage: The Cape Mentelle Zinfandel. Big, bold and brash but with a legion of supporters. Before the final siren Danny checks out a Durif from Rutherglen producer Scion. It might have been a while since the grape was at the top of the ladder, but this might be a breakout season that sees fans jumping on the bandwagon.
