Why Australia for Fine Wines?
Australia, the land DownUnder, has become a major and exciting force in international wines. Australian wine is taking the world by storm, due to the quality of the grape stock combined with the skill and experience of its winemakers. This enables it to produce a superb and wide range of Australian wine styles.
This island continent features wines as varied as its terrain. Most people know of Australian Shiraz ? that fruit-forward wine now known and enjoyed around the world. These fabulous ?fruit bombs? represent but a small part of the overall Australian winemaking scene.
Australia is sometimes described as the perfect wine producing country. It has a land mass as great as the United States or Western Europe, with a diverse climate from cold to cool to warm, and a wide variety of soil types, including the famous Coonawarra terra rossa. These natural advantages coupled with the irrepressible free-spirited character of the Australian people, has encouraged Australian winemakers to build on the great traditions of winemaking, to create delicious wines of stunning quality, diversity and uniqueness.
Wines from Australia are usually denoted by their grape variety. Aside from Shiraz, Australia also produces fine Chardonnay, Semillon, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and plenty of Cab-Shiraz blends plus some distinct Aussie wines. And don?t forget the Australian sparking whites and reds ? just the wines to keep your taste buds tingling.
Delicious concentrated ripe fruit, harvested at the peak of perfection is easier to obtain in Australia than almost anywhere else in the world. Australian wines are a delight on your palette with their different aromas, flavours and taste sensations crafted from each of the different grapes, blends and regions.
Go and visit DownUnder, you won?t be disappointed. If you don't have the time just now, you can take a Wine Tour around this amazing country through the AussieWinesOnline website and experience the people, places and those incomparable Aussie wines.

Thank goodness for scooters and glow sticks - Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Jump to the full entry & travel map Nashville, Tennessee, United States We left Wytheville around 11am ("a late start" Bret said), but we were going with the flow. The kids had a great time in the pool in the morning. Rebecca had forgotten coffee filters (although bought a HUGE bag of Dunkin' Dounuts coffee and brought a coffee maker with a timer; we also brought wine and forgot a bottle opener). The KOA coffee would have to do. The water pump was operating all night, taking fresh water f
Underage Drinking With Parents
Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:24:06 PDT
Last week's issue of TIME had an article about underage drinking, hard-core drinkers on college campuses, and parents who drink with their teens. Since I am on the brink of the legal drinking age, the article was a very interesting read, and the drinking with parents part really struck a note with me. The summer before high school, the mother of one of my childhood friends bought a variety of alcohol, then sat down with her and essentially got her drunk. The mother said it was to prepare her da
The Next Food Network Star, Episode 5 Recap: Don't Screw Up In Front of Bon Appetit Judges
Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:44:27 PDT
From Required Eating I really wasn't a fan of this show when handed the beat. Everything felt so sloppy, forced; the goofy personalities were hard to watch. These people are seriously on television? Not to mention a decent Food Network time slot. But I found a new way of looking at it, and now I'm hooked. The Next Food Network Star is less a food-food show, more a spoof of everything else on the network. The focus is not on raw kitchen talent, Asian street food or four-second meals. Instea
It Can’t Be That Bad

“Something’s gotta give,” my exasperated husband sighs as we both gaze desparingly upon our monthly bank statement. “What? What can we give?” We look over every detailed transaction. Gasoline…300 dollars per month. Groceries…1800 dollars per month. Doctor visits and prescriptions…125 dollars per month. The list of costs associated with raising our large family, in this modern day, is seemingly endless and far too overpriced. My new struggle with trying to balance frugality, while shopping for o
