Well, fellow wine snobs, one should also recognize Australian wines!
The better Aussie wines fully equal the better California wines, and
that my friend is SAYING something!
In fact, between the California wines and the Aussie wines, I haven't
bought and pulled the cork on a French wine in years!
I sure used to, late '80s and early '90s! A lot!
But not any more. No need. The French no longer hold top place in
quality vs. price. Haven't for some time...
Understand, I'm not saying the French cannot make a good red, or a
competitive white... they can.
But not at a price. Not even!
