I was a serious wino (a cellar with a rolling 300 bottles) of really nice reds years ago when I lived/grew up 50 miles from the Napa/Sonoma Valleys. That said, year after year, Rosemount Shiraz never let me down. Inexpensive too.
Yep, I "was" like Ed, before we immigrated to Canada !
Good Barossa or McLaren Vale Shiraz, or Margaret River or Coonawarra Cabernet are the ducks nutz !
Good wines from these premier regions of Australia, rival & some even surpass Napa Valley premiums.
