pouring rapid tips

Two Aussies picked up more than $50 million each this week in the lotto, and we’re sure they’re drinking great wine. But what about the rest of us? This week we check out three wines that are great bargains and can be found for well under $10 each. There’s the McWilliams Inheritance Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc, the Angove Long Row Shiraz and De Bortoli Deen Vat 1 Durif. Combined we spend less than $22 on all three!

This week’s recommendations are:

• McWilliams Inheritance Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2008 ($4.5-7)
• Angove Long Row Shiraz 2007 ($8-10)
• De Bortoli Deen Vat 1 Durif 2007 ($9-12)

In 1976 there was a famous blind tasting now referred to as the “Judgement of Paris” in which US wines toppled the French as the judges favourites. This week we recommend a petite syrah from one of the producers who turned the world’s expectations upside down and proved great wine doesn’t have to be grown in France. We also look at a great value shiraz from the Heathcote region which is receiving rave reviews from today’s big critics. There’s also a saintly riesling that is a true bargain no matter who’s name is on the label.

Danny is also sporting a very average moustache. It’s all in order to help raise funds and awareness for men’s health as a part of movember. You can help by sponsoring danny’s mo growing activities.

In this episode we recommend:

• Orlando St. Helga riesling 2007 ($15-20)
• Stags’ Leap petite syrah 2005 ($35[us] – 50[au])
• Tyrrell’s Rufus Stone Heathcote shiraz 2006 ($17-25)
