Over here, we see mostly Clare Valley rieslings, but when I was reading I noticed that the shiraz was plentifully planted, too. I'm looking forward to exploring more wines from the region. Interesting about the mint--it really did go well with that minty pesto.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-54401198328794659842007-08-20T19:21:00.000-07:002007-08-20T19:21:00.000-07:00Dr Debs,The Clare has some of the oldest Shiraz vi...Dr Debs,<BR/><BR/>The Clare has some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the world, and is also well know locally for Cabernet and shiraz.<BR/><BR/>The tannins often have a sinewly streak, and some can detect a hint of mint in the reds. Which would have made your food combination particularly appropriate!Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020445581810054798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-3880628068445363442007-08-20T08:19:00.000-07:002007-08-20T08:19:00.000-07:00I have only had Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc from Au...I have only had Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc from Austrailia. I'd like to try a Cabernet from Down Under and give it a whirl. Great information and links. Thanks!Orion Slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638671012109650988noreply@blogger.com
