I had a Shiraz noir a while back that was to die for, don't know where it was from and can't find it anywhere (I was on a cruise ship).
A couple of weeks ago I was really impressed with an Argentinean Shiraz too |

"No, not "I can't get any meets, where am I going wrong?"
Mine is an Australian chardonnay, preferably Wolfblass.
What's yours?
Yellow label  "
Awwwwwe that's why you're not getting any meets - it's a New Zealand Chardonnay you should be drinking not Ozzie (bloody Ozzie's)!! "Ö"
Oh & if you can afford, try not to go for the mass produced labels - they're nowhere near as nice!!
personally I find a full bodied Spanish, French or NZ red to be almost as good as Tantric Sex - but preferably without the spillage!!  |

With Steak? Grant Burge Old Vine Shiraz or Chateau Musar.
Fish? Any decent Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc (Oyster Bay's good and reasonable) or Sancerre.
Day to day drinking? A decent Pinot Grigio or Chilean Unoaked Chardonnay. Or if on a red mood - my current fave is a slightly chilled Marlborough Pinot Noir.
Not that I'm fussy !

Try and get your hands on som 'Caballo Loco' - it's an interesting concept - a blend of several vintages, but awesome with a good medium fillet! |

Don't worry. It's not about price, it's about taste. If you know what to look for, you can a pick up a world class bottle for a decent price! |

No longer made, but a sparkling Burgundy made by Chanson Père et Fis in Beaune. The vineyards they used to produce this were replanted as they could produce higher quality still wines. The last ones I bought were labelled, corked and delivered to my hotel

I don't have a favourite and so select what I feel I want at the time.
I really do like Edouard champagne but only like one glass and only if it's a celebration.
I seldom drink white wine and if I do I prefer it to be one of the golden/yellow bodies with pear but not sweet.
Mostly I ask for Cabernet Sauvignon and there are several reasonable supermarket ones including Turning Leaf and Wolf Blass.
A really good red at a snip is Marks and Sparks Raso De Laz Cruz Red. |
