The Wine Regions of our House.
Most of the truly great wines have been produced from the Pantry, which is a cool climate region.
The fridge produces mainly white wines and the quality is mostly OK.
Very drinkable wines have been produced from under the front seat of the car.
The shed is a warmer region but constantly produces some wonderful suprises.
The high altitude region is the top of the bookshelf and perfectly magnificent wines can be found there. The mail box also produces the odd exelent bottle.
These days wines are being produced from all sorts of unlikely places. Modern life is certianly creating some facinating suprises.

My BIL gave me a very nice Aussie Shiraz for Xmas. The name of the producer escapes me, though. I can't wait to try it.

I LOVE Jacob's Creek, Black Opal and Rosemount Estates, three really good ones no matter what type you choose.

One time, on the ship, my captain produced some Italian wine from under his jacket and those of us on duty produced soda cans to camoflage said wine.
I miss that man.
