"In some years the grapes from my vineyard do not ripen due to the harsh conditions"

Unfair, this wouldn't be the kind of stuff I'd let pass my lips, I bet it's c-through!

Steve, stop giving unauthorised clues

and some more help:

4. The commissioning of the Pro Hart painting occurred in 1976.

Guest #1 - that's a pissa

Guest #2 - a fair effort, but alas, not the wine I'm looking for.

5. The Pro Hart painting, to the best of my knowledge, has not appeared on my label (but I may be wrong ?).

orlando steingarten ???

Well done highway. Indeed the wine, and vineyard, is Orlando Steingarten.

"Planted in 1962 on the eastern face of the Barrossa Hills at an altitude of 1,600 feet above sea level. It is a very rocky terrain and the Riesling vines have to struggle for survival. In some years the grapes do not ripen owing to the harsh conditions, but in years when wine is made it is full in flavour, but with a steely elegance and finesse ... "

I wish I could put the image of the painting on here as it's a brilliant piece of work by Pro.

Until next week ..............

But I have just got out of bed.

Over already?

Pro Hart also did a commerative bottle of port, can't think of who by at present.

He also hand-painted a dragonfly on each bottle.

Hmm, maybe the Quiz should start a little later in future?
