Thanks Attila, very interesting. I've not heard of these wines before, but now I'm interested. Were these the only wines of their range that you tasted? Have you tried the Trial Hill Vineyard Shiraz, or the Greenock Rise GSM, or the Twins GSM? And, since I'm not really familiar with your scoring/ran...

i basically go into coles/safeway liquor section and choose any red thats >$20 and on sale and buy that. I'm no expert, but I've learned enough to avoid the supermarket liquor section.

I don't think I've heard of anyone doing this recently, but I thought I read that Peter Lehmann did it many years ago (along with a bit of Pinot and o...
