Join me checking out another emerging variety – this time a Lagrein. I have tried this variety before and I am amazed at the milk chocolate character this wine seems to provide.

Another new variety – Teroldego. An Italian variety that I have not tried before. It was wonderful and I hope to see more of this variety.
Dianna Genders has done it again with a McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon of substance.
Join me in sharing my favorite grape variety from one of my favorite wineries – Samuels Gorge Grenache. Part of the McLaren Vale Cadensia Project. A regional marketing of Grenache. This variety can make excellent wine but it is not really known by the every day consumer.
A treat for me and I hope a treat for you. The grape variety Aglianico from Southern Italy is a varietal I have never tried before. I was certainly impressed – enough to want to try more from this variety.
Thanks for joining me on the 100th episode of Lonely Grape TV. As this is a special treat I am sharing a bottle on 2009 Fox Creek Wines Short Row Shiraz. A wine I had some involvement in making as I did most of the laboratory analysis of the grapes, ferments and wine, during my 18 months at Fox Creek Wines.
From the Braydun Hill stable, this Shimply Shiraz is a pleasant surprise and I can see why it is a recent award winner.
A newly bottled 2010 Shiraz from a really small McLaren Vale producer – Pikkara. This will be one to watch. All the usual character of McLaren Vale Shiraz.
Join me while I taste one of the few Zinfandel’s I have tried. I would have to say that this one is my favorite.
A Shiraz from one of the few fully certified organic vineyard and winery combinations in McLaren Vale. 2008 was a hot vintage that caused many issues with the resultant wine, however this wine seems to have been spared.
