Customer Service Award – September/October 2007
I have decided that places who provide exceptional customer service should be mentioned and awarded for their outstanding actions that made me feel happy :D. – Noodle Box Gungahlin – This store opposite “The G” in Gungalin is amazing – the food is pretty good, but the smile, friendly word and attitude of the staff…

I am, you are…
you have been prevented from viewing this post by the security exclusion zone… Today I am bloody well ashamed to be an Australian. We are a nation of laid back slackers, with a motto of she’ll be right mate, emphasis on the word mate. Yet we have blocked off a three mile square chunk of…

Wirra Wirra “Woodhenge” – Shiraz (2005) McLaren Vale
While no where near as great as their RSW the Woodhenge is a very nice Shiraz. This one while drinking well now, will do wonders with a few more years of bottle age in good cellaring conditions. This one is under the Stelvin cap’s which should stop any cork taint. Get into it, ignore the…

d’Arenberg “The Money Spider” – Rousanne (2006) McLaren Vale
A white quaffing wine. Not too bad for those who’re not such a fan of the white varietals.

Wirra Wirra “Scrubby Rise” – Shiraz (2006)
A blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Savignon, Petit Verdot from Wirra Wirra predominantly shiraz – this is a bargain basement wine, but the quality is so much higher than that – take it to a BBQ and among the wine drinking people there, 50% of them will love you, 50% of them will not be overly…

Majella “Malleea” – Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz (2003) – Coonawarra
Supplied by Nat, and boy do I feel like I need to dig out something special next time I catch up with him. The company was far better than the wine, but this is a drop worth hunting around for a day or four to find a bottle. Do not ignore it – I’d assume…

d’Arenberg “The Coppermine Road” – Cabernet Sauvignon (2003) – McLaren Vale
Like much of the “I drank this a long time ago and can’t remember it” ranks – it was nice enough and worth checking out.

Outback Chase – Cabernet Sauvignon (2001) – Coonawarra
Decent Cab Sauv – can’t remember it much – was about 7 months ago I drunk this one.

Peter Lehmann “Stonewell” – Shiraz (2003) Barossa
Oh baby! I cannot wait to get my hands on a primo of primo years bottle of this one. It’s only made when the grapes are of sufficient quality, which means in the primo of primo years this one should be insane – 05, 06 and 07’s of this ones are must haves on my…
