Thoughts on Australian Wines:
I am certainly not a wine expert but will remark on what I enjoyed.
The Shiraz in the Barossa Valley was full bodied and required food to enjoy.
The blended Shiraz wines in the Barossa were excellent. The best blends were with small amounts of Viognier.
The Shiraz in the Coonawarra Valley was smooth and easy to drink without food.
The sparkling Shiraz from the Barossa was excellent, whereas the same wine from other regions was thin.
The Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills was rich and full bodied.
The Pinot Noir from the Yarra Valley was thin.
The Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills was distinctive and rich.
The Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley was good, but not as good as the few I tasted from the Hills.
The Reisling from the Eden Valley was dry and full bodied; it was much different than the very sweet European Reisling.
I have mentioned specific wineries and wines in other pieces.
