As a younger man, I spent about four years in Australia. I lived in Canberra and saw large parts of New South Wales and Victoria: Syndey, Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road (with the 12 Apostles standing in the ocean). I remember watching my children feed the black swans on Lake Wendouree in Ballarat. And I remember the beauty of the Snowy Mountains, playing in the snow at Thredbo.

In my neighborhood I've had a choice of two Chiantis off the store shelf until recently: Da Vinci and Ecco Domani. Both were good basic Chianti - palatable, with a the taste a cherries and firm tannins. Both were affordable (though Da Vinci was somewhat more expensive than Ecco Domani).
The 30 Second Wine Advisor ran a piece recently that talked about how international marketing efforts in Tuscany have led to replacing the fiasco that Chianti traditionally came in with more conventional ...

Variety in Poker and Wine Tasting Wine tasting involves the sampling of a variety of different types of wine. It is not particularly meaningful for people to simply say they enjoy ...

Note: Everyone has deficiencies in their experience with wine. For example... in my opinion, if you haven't tasted Brown Brothers Orange Muscat and Flora then you've missed one of the best dessert wines on earth. Me? before tonight I'd never tried a South African Shiraz Pinotage. I'm drinking a glass as I write this - from Sebeka. It's interesting. And I'll buy more...

The wine blog Fermentation pointed out a column by Bill Daley that recently appeared in the Chicago Tribune.
