Aussie gift ideas..
Hey all!
A friend of mine is going back to Ireland for a bit ..
She's after some Aussie gift ideas (non tacky types)
One idea was Aussie wines. Since I don't drink wine @ all I was wondering if anyone could suggest any good Aussie wines &or other gift ideas...
Cheers!

ADD boy - Katnook is good, can be pretty pricy tho. Aussie wines from Adelaide Hills are usually pretty good - Sauv Blanc especially and Pinot.
If going for Victorian wine, prolly best to stick to Shiraz. We don't really do a good lighter red.
Otherwise anything from Margaret River in WA is also pretty safe.
Brokenwood whites are nice and resonable, Wynns Connawarra Shiraz is cheap ($15) and nice and their Riesling is also really good. And my favourite, which is quite pricey ($50) is Mt Langi Ghiran shiraz.

Hope this helps. Aussie wine is great.

IMO not exactly true, I reckon There are some great Pinots coming out of the mornington peninsular of a lighter style. Red Hill estate is a good pinot ( and there Chardonnay in second to none in its price range). Also Kings creek Pinot is nice for a lighter style red.dust wrote:

edit- Also Stoniers Pinot is awesome, maybe a little more $$ than the others mentioned

totally agree on the Pinot Noir call there. Stonier's Point is great, as is Bass Phillip.Hatsudai wrote:IMO not exactly true, I reckon There are some great Pinots coming out of the mornington peninsular of a lighter style.

there's also some good Pinot Gris being made around Dromana.

Vic is better known as a shiraz and chardy region, but the Pinots are good and that Stonier pinot is a fantastic wine, so yeah, i was wrong and freely admit it.
