Again?? not that I could blame you.

Again?? not that I could blame you.

I should really quote people more, but it seems so slow I expect my post to follow. Not for Queenie to mess it up.

No help required? You seem to be doing well all by your self!

I think my large glass of wine is helping.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Red or white?

 

[skiingfast]

Red or white?

Red. I used to like white, but now am only into a very few whites. Far more accepting of reds.

 

[PrincessInOz]

I like reds too.

do either of you drink the Australian Wines from Cassela? We have a brand called Yellowtail in the US. It has a Kangaroo on the bottle. It's fairly cheap and popular.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Queenie will be happy. I think Cassela and Yellowtail is from NSW.

We have a good wine industry here and pretty reasonable wine. There are a number of valleys in different states that have the right conditions for wine making.

Popular pastime here is to go winetasting. The nearest to me is the Yarra Valley. I think there are about 20, 30, 40?? vineyards in the Yarra Valley alone...and that's not the biggest nor the best wine country in Australia either.

 

[skiingfast]

So you have heard of Yellowtale? I didn't know if that's just the name of it in the US.

It says on our bottles Yellowtail.

Then bottled by Casella.

Does it have a Roo on it there too?

 

[queenie82]

Yellowtail is cheap and popular...for it being cheap. I don't drink it. I think it's possibly more popular in the US.
I don't really drink much wine at all. But I generally end up with those from Tyrells, and others in the Hunter Valley (which is in NSW...about 2 hours?? from me.)

This is a BIG liquor store in Oz.

I can't remember...next time I'm in a bottle shop I'll go look. I don't drink Yellowtail much....it might be cheap and drinkable, but it's not exactly the best drop or value for money around.

It had a selection of foreign to Oz wines that are not easy to find here. I'm not sure I trust the Murphy.

What does that mean? Trust the Murphy?

I'm simply SHOWING you Yellowtail is sold here...
