The Wine Experience                         
Australia Regions

Do you like well made, consistent wines ready to drink when buy them and priced as a good value?   Who wouldn't?

Well that's why you'll love Australia.   Their winemaking and availability has exploded.   And they take great advantage of the natural conditions for growing grapes.  

Now Australia's a big place, but the vineyards are concentrated in the Southeast and Far West where there's lots of sunshine and not a lot of rain.

Many wine areas are near the major cities.   Near Sydney there's the famous Hunter Valley, the Yarra is by Melbourne and the Barossa Valley is near Adelaide.   

Not to be overlooked is Victoria with clusters of smaller producers who bring a hand crafted approach to their wines.    And near Perth are the up and coming Margaret River and Swan districts.  

From cabernet to Shiraz and chardonnay to Semillon along with all the blending they're noted for, Australia's wines are accessible, affordable and fun.

And there's nothing snooty about them.  

Sounds like the perfect combination.   There's more on Australia and Australia travel here.
