It’s now been probably 10 years since I last tasted Jacob’s Creek Shiraz, that wine which you could say started it all (I even took a bottle to lunch at my uncle and aunts maybe 12 years ago - my second wine epiphany occurring shortly after JC, as they served Labergorce Zede 1984 and 1988 over lunch - looking back now I can only blush with slight embarassment!)...

This is reprinted from Shiraz Socialist and is written by David Broder, formerly of the AWL (Alliance for Workers' Liberty). I am going to do an official introductory post over the weekend but thought it was important to make people aware of this in the meantime.

I'm not sure when I first heard of this stuff - but in my minds eye...er mouth I imagined this to be a charming, quirky take on bubbly much like Proseco.

The last post on Shiraz noted that forums were discussing the news that wine importer The Grateful Palate (TGP) was trimming it portfolio of Australian wines. At that time it was not clear which producers would be affected by the reorganization. The lists of who is still in and who is out were revealed by Dan Philips in letters to his distributors (August 7th) and suppliers (August 14th). Those...

Deisen Barossa Shiraz Cabernet 2004 (Wino sapien)

noreply@blogger.com (Edward) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:43:00 GMT

Barossa, South Australia. Cork. 15% alcohol. Approx $A36. August in Perth is still nominally winter. The reality this year has been beautiful sun drenched days and crisp cool nights. Spring has come early, and soon only the foolhardy will attempt to drink heroic wines such as this. . . This is a big, black wine with a sweet core. Initially spiced and laden with blackcurrant and plums, before becoming...

Heathcote, Victoria, Australia. Shiraz. 14.5%. Diam. Approx $A40. Context : Usain Bolt emphatically wins the mens 100m Olympic final, setting a new world record, of 9.69 seconds.
