Aussie Attack

Well, the first post of the Alaskan Grape Nuts… of course, we’ll be lucky to keep these posts alive beyond a couple, so let’s get right into it. I’ve been drinking quite a few Aussie wines as of late and truth be told, I’m ready to move on. The representative wines I’ve been drinking have been quite sweet and juicy. They come across very full and rich and luscious. That’s nice and it is really impressive when you first start drinking it – the wine hits you like the fruit bomb it is and provides a full blast that makes you feel you’re getting your money’s worth. But, after a while, you start to feel that maybe there’s something more.

Obviously there is… the wine world is pretty huge. But, it is an interesting point to be at. I’m really shying away from Aussie reds right now and have been trying a few California cabs. Also, we have a trip to Amsterdam and Paris coming up so the French wines will quickly be entering our rotation in preparation for that trip. Our first official gathering of the Alaskan Grape Nuts (although they don’t know it yet) is Feb. 17th… and it’s French night.
