Well, only a very picky luxury forum member would be genuinely unhappy with Grange!

Clonakilla shiraz-viognier is amazing and stands up proudly next to great Cote-Rotie. The 2010 vintage has received some good reviews recently.

To my knowledge Bindi does not make a Shiraz, being very much in the Burgundian tradition - Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Both excellent.

If you like Australian Shiraz, you could also keep an eye out for Blackjack and Heathcote. Both come from a part of NW/central Victoria where Shiraz grows like a weed! Great drinking at a very reasonable price point.

If you like Cabernets, I would encourage you to try Moss Wood or Cullen if you should see them. Both are from the Margaret River region in Western Australia and IMO they really define the style for that region.

It's never a problem to go OT in my book where good wine is concerned!
