Dandelion Vineyards Wonderland of the Eden Valley Reisling 2010

I had a bottle of this sometime ago - I thought I'd published a review of this but I either didn't do it or I can't find it and so:
It's good as far as reisling goes (I'm not a massive fan) and it's most delicious and refreshing. This could be the one that turns me from a reisling liker to a reisling lover...it's especially good with oysters with lime & vodka granita apparently...

Forester Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Massively fruity and gorgeous colour - this is an awseome drop and you should get some immediately. Nuff said.

Langmeil De Kegelbahn Red Pin Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2009

Should we beware when a wine is supposed to offer 'funky' savoury spice aromas? For me, it did smell quite dusty and I wasn't wholly enamoured with this. However, it did grow on (like the proverbial fungus?) me. Well, I drank it regardless of it's dusty overtones...OK but not brilliant.

Ninth Island Sauvignon Blanc 2010

It's been suggested that this wine offers aromas such as lilies, geranium, gooseberries & honeydew melon, even asparagus and green pineapple. I'm not so sure about these aromas but I can say that it's absolutely delicious and would advise any white wine drinker to get hold of some.

42 Degrees South - 2006 Gerwurztraminer - Frogmore Creek Wines

I've never tasted anything like this before (in a good way)! It's fantastic; slight acidity, citrus twangs....I'm quite blown away...shame I'll probably never find another bottle of it ever again...will have to jump onto their website (www.frogmorecreek.com.au) and order some more. Truly invigorating!
