What bottle of red have you opened this week?
This afternoon, my father-in-law and I went down to Dan Murphys to buy some good reds to drink this winter. The recent birth of my second daughter and payday also had something to do with it. Now, to me, when selecting the wine, its not the price, it's the consideration, although I do tend to disgard the very cheapest - say under $7-8. (Yes I know!)
Amongst some Cab Savs and Merlots I picked up a
2003 Coriole Redston Shiraz ($16) and a
05 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Shiraz (on special $11).
cheers

That reminds me, Aussie wine has invaded the States big time. I'm assuming you send over the stuff you lot won't drink.
If I recall, one is branded Yellowtail?Cheers,
Bob

Yellowtail has a good marketing plan and they sell heaps over there.
Usually the Aussie wineries sell "Critter Wine" to the States. It has some sort of critter, a lizard, kangaroo or koala and names like "Hoo Roo".

And they come from "South Eastern Australia"
A famous region that we Aussies cant work out?

That is so true. Yellowtail have done their marketing homework; simple, clean, design and grape color-coding too. I remember buying a bottle in London on the appeal alone.
Jacobs Creek almost sales by itself - I bet they sell cheaper stuff on the back of their good stuff although I see even their cheaper stuff is marked as good value. Same applies to Penfolds.
I did have a laugh at the gear locked away in cabinets. Another time, another place maybe. In practise I tend to not pay much more than $25 a bottle especially if it was to drink at home.
I also like PepperJack.
