Peter Dennis – McLaren Vale – Cabernet Sauvignon (2004)
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a passable Cab Sav at present. It does however require several more years in the Cellar to transform itself into a decent drop.
I’d reccomend this one with something strong and saucy – french, or italian!

Little Creatures – Pilsner
This beer hailing from Western Australia is an excellent example of a Pilsner. It has a similar ‘what is that’ aftertaste that the Pale Ale (from the same Brewery.
Definatly reccomended drinking – this would however due to its aftertaste (which is pleasent in small quantites) definatly not be a beer on which to binge apon.
