Guest The Architect Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 No, Swan Valley is a premier wine and food making region in WA, not actually some type of wine. I only live about 20 minutes away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 No, Swan Valley is a premier wine and food making region in WA, not actually some type of wine. I only live about 20 minutes away from it. i realise that, i was just meaning i'd try it out if i found it what sort of wines do they do? only reds? only whites? or pretty much everything? when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Guest The Architect Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Pretty much everything. And don't you dare come here! There's already enough Kiwis in WA as it is. Well, Maoris more than anything. But I can't blame you guys. We're the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 cool i'll try and find a Pinot Noir or something then and i got no plans to go to aussie anytime soon. my sister's already over there, and as far as i'm concerned, you guys deserve her when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Gorth Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 a generous supply of Australien red wines... no offence or anything, but every single australian wine i've tried so far has been terrible That is because you are a Kiwi. You are naturally biased against Australian wines and think NZ wines are the best in the world (for the record, I lived for some years in New Zealand, having tasted plenty of the local stuff there too). After the second bottle, they all taste good “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Walsingham Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Bah! South African reds for the win! There's a particularly nice shiraz grenache called the Assassin with bags of fruity body.

Enoch Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I don't know about the stuff that's consumed locally, but in my experience most of the Aussie reds that are sold here in the States are massive fruit bombs. This makes them popular with the "I don't really like wine" wine-drinkers, but I need more tannins in my reds. I just ate some breakfast cereal-- the last bits of the raisin bran mixed with some Frosted Flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 That is true. It's easy to get confused between colonial reds made for cheapo cretins and the proper good wines they can produce.

Gorth Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The history of Australian wine making is funny and sad at the same time. Two french prisoners of war was brought in to do something about the viticulture (being french, they sort of had to know something about wine, right?). It was such a dismal failure that the two guys got expelled from Australia. Just imagine how bad that wine must have been... being kicked out of a penal colony. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tale Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Took my mother to Red Lobster saturday, my treat. Had the Lobster mixed seafood grill or whatever. Included scallops, shrimp, and a maine lobster tail which had been split in the middle. The scallops and shrimp were good and while I rarely find lobster tails to be as big as I expect, this one seemed even smaller than usual. Probably because of how it was cut. It had a very good butter sauce over it. Also, I can not recommend Red Lobster's french fries. Their Lobster Pizza is delicious, however.

Walsingham Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Using up old veg and meat. Chicken, bacon, sweet potato, and celeriac soup. Coarse cut, then hit with a potato masher once soft. I then went out to the shops, but eventually decided not to buy anything. i really should be eating up my own eftovers. "It wasn't lies.
