If you ever go to their winery in Pokolbin you might see what I mean - touristy, mass-produced factory wines. On the other hand, the power of pounds sterling probably means that the wines you were trying were rather higher quality than the <$10AUD stuff I have tried previously.Alicia Foodycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931796992646884249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270211812875054881.post-6087190977738838192009-12-08T11:41:23.354+00:002009-12-08T11:41:23.354+00:00Sounds like a cracking event.

We concentrated on their wines from the South West of France and have rarely tasted better. Alexis is a very taltented chap.
