I haven't explored french wines much. I drink mostly reds from California and Australia. Right now, I'm on a Zinfandel kick.

Oh yeah, "Sideways" is a great little film. I'll watch just about anything with Paul Giamotti in it.

and for the record, anything with a 'yellow tail' label is good. :) really good.


Really? That's interesting. The Yellow Tail label is used on super-cheap should-probably-be-cleanskin wine. Interesting how different labels are marketed in different countries. :)

Yellow Tail has made a big incursion into the US market with their very inexpensive shirazes and such. They're not being marketed as premium wines by any stretch. Decent for the price, I guess, but I don't spend much time in the "Two Buck Chuck" department.

As for Australian wines, I'd still like to thank that bottle shop employee in Glebe that suggested I take home a 1994 Kay Bros Block 6 Shiraz: the most prized bottle in my (admittedly small) collection. Gonna pop that sucker open for a special occasion pretty soon, hopefully.

Ahh, interesting. It's pretty common for Aussie labels to be changed and marketed differently in export markets. No doubt you get a different Yellow Tail. :cool:

Oooh, that'd be getting nice. Wouldn't wanna leave it in for too many more years though.
