Yup. What he said...
I'd like to like wine but honestly it's wasted on me. No matter what the reputation or price, to me all wine tastes the same.(I can however tell the difference between red and white)
I'm strictly a beer man.

Life's gettin' too short, and to add a few to the previous "Gentlemen Jacks",
not a bad drop when even watching the Western Force get walloped.
Black Bushmills on its own in a real chilled glass..no ice to dilute.(not to share with visitors ,only for personal consumption).
Of course the occassional Glen Fiddich does not go amiss but with Chilled glass.
Willespie Shiraz , always nice on the palate with a steak / casserole.

Cant stand wine... Tastes like vinigar to me... well the whites no matter what brand what type what price still tastes like vinigar
But of recent times Ive found Im getting a real taste for red wine... well two to be precise... both from Kirup... Kirup Syrup and Kickarse... man theyre nice... best way we found to REALLY enjoy the Syrup was to have a glass of a "nice" red standing by have a sip of the Syrup to get the kick happening then a sup of the red then the Kirup tastes bloody brilliant puts the other to shame it do... kickarse is just that kickarse... great fortified wine that one sold by the plagon at the Kirup Tavern $28 per plagon and about the same % alcohol... tastes great in my view mixed with some Syrup.
Actually just thinking about that I think Im about due for another quick hop to Kirup shortly as I drank a bottle of Syrup on the way to Broome another 3 in Broome and 1 more on the way back so Ive got 2 left I think... and Im clean out of Kickarse blasted sister REALLY cultivated a taste for it!
Well thats the extent of my wine drinkin Im a true blue wine konisooer eh!Believe me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

c'mon ashore - Ha! Try the hunter Shiraz or pinot and you won't touch that S.A. stuff again ( and at a better value for money )
to quote a line from a great movie 'tell him he's dreaming'.
Poppa is right SA is the way to go. The Hunter Valley isnt even close to SA wines. Barossa, Clare, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra etc etc.
As for beer Tooheys Extra Dry if money is low. Heineken, Gage Roads, Blue Tounge, Squires if im feeling rich.
Whisky - Jamesons, Glenfiddich, Glen Livet.
Dont mind a Port. One of the best I had was from a winery that sold it in what looked like a former engine coolant container. $10 a container and it tasted great. Must have been the added coolant!

Your right nicko the hunter isn't even close to SA Barossa, Clare, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and thank god it's not we have propper soil for wine growing and thats why we are the best , name any of your wines that have been entered in the paris wine show and won gold medals in two diffrent catagories for the same wine simply because the wine was just soooo good ,
As for beer "Tooheys Extra Dry if money is low". so what do you south australians throw into the mix , southwark, or pale ale which you serve in 6oz glasses cause even the locals cant stand it in larger amounts , and your beer is on a good par to your wineAshore

Heineken used to be good until CUB buggered it along with Stella, Becks and a couple of others.
I reckon Aldi MVP is as good as any of the CUB 'Imports' and only $27.00.
The only local drop I like is the Tooheys Old (and MVP).Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

C'mon ashore, Paris Wine show... How many Australians care what the French think?
Check out James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion - http://winecompanion.com.au/page/41/Top+100+2008
This link shows the Top 100 wines. Now the Hunter Valley may have got a mention under the white wine section, I don't drink white, I would have to ask the Mrs if it's any good.
SA wines are all over this list. Add up the number of times the Hunter Valley gets a mention in the Red wine category. You won't need a calculator to add up 0. Don't forget to see SA's Grange at number 1.
Artme, have you seen that Pepperjack have put out a beer?
