Come on DiningBuzzers - have you ever spent the weekend away in a wine area?

Tell me your stories.

There is one winery in the Yarra Valley with some shockingly good wines; it should be open for a visit. It is a cool climate area so some of the techniques used are quite different to my typical favourite warmer climate reds.

Pinot is among the most popular varieties but it is the Shiraz and Chardonnay vintages that have received all the praise.

Dream setup: a tasting of ALL of the 2004 Shiraz vintage range and a se;ection of several years of the Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc range.
The 2004 Shiraz was the big winner and I'd like to gauge the development of all of the products of this place from that year.

I'd like to find an outstanding 2004 shiraz (the big winner will be sold out) and buy what's left.
