an aussie and two italians...

an Australian and two Italians were stranded on an island for many days. One morning a seemingly empty bottle washed ashore. When they picked it up, a genie rushed out. The genie was grateful for the freedom, and granted each one a wish. One Italian said: I wish to be on a beach surrounded by beautiful girls. Whoosh, the Italian was gone to Hawaii; the second said: I wish to be in a casino with piles of cash. Whoosh, and off he went to the Borgata. The Australian could not decide what he wanted. After a long thought, he said: Gee, it's very lonely on this island. I wish my mates were back!


ross estate barossa valley shiraz 2005...
this is a striking example of very well made shiraz with ideal bottle age. While five years is not very long, the time has tamed the tannins and allowed the fruit to lace the aromas with smoky, spiced dark raspberry. Elegant and not the usual brash wine from the barossa, this red plays rounds of interesting and satisfying rich flavors.

le rime pinot grigio 2009...
true to the quality that Banfi represents this is an exeptional effort that is fruitful, fragrant and fresh. An above-average pinot grigio with crisp acidity balanced with vibrant fruit. This is a white that would be a nice addition to any gathering and a compliment to any light meal.


ruffino lumina pinot grigio 2009...
with it's name 'illumination of the moon' and the label's moon icon representing the ancient alchemist's symbol for the earth, this white is a contemporary addition to Ruffino's top quality portfolio. This is a fragrant and elegant wine with fresh notes of citrus and a pleasing hint of mineral; a big brand with a small winery touch.
