I haven't tried that one yet, JennieG. I'll look out for it. My favourite type of wine for hot summer days is Semillon. Tangy with lots of flavour. Perfect with fresh foods like salads etc. Verdelho is good, but Semillon is better, IMHO.

McGrath of H, it's pretty difficult to wind up an Aussie because we enjoy laughing at ourselves too much. It's the national pastime. And another v. humourous thing is unloading people like Kylie & Rupert & Rolf on the rest of the world.

(Actually, I like Rolf. He's a very talented man, and as a kid his shows were very clever and entertaining. I like his programme - recently aired in Oz - called Star Portraits, where he organised 3 artists per show to simultaneously paint a famous person and then you could watch them at work, and then look at the 3 different styles of the final products. A very interesting way to see art in action.)
