Hello,


As I explained to the thread that I started that is hugely popular at 0
replies, I bought a copy of Gourmet Traveller Wine [Australasian
Edition] and really liked it.

Being in Australia I obviously enjoy a lot of Australian wines as
they're cheaper and easier to get, but I also enjoy imports from time to
time, and enjoy reading about them. I am actually looking at foreign
wines just out of interest.

So I was just wondering what everyone thinks about the various
Australian or Australian centred wine publications?

I'd get subscriptions if they were worth it.



So I'll outline what my wine profile is as a reference.

I enjoy tasting notes, and head to head type stuff, my tastes are mostly
red [and mostly big reds] but I enjoy subtle reds, roses, whites,
fortifieds, stickies, bubblies, anything really, as well. I am mostly
Australian-centric, but have no problem drinking imports.

I wouldn't call myself an absolute beginner, but I'm certainly fairly
early in my development. I don't want advanced technical discussion
running at 20+ pages of the merits of 14% versus 15% alcohol volume etc.
But some hints and tips would be nice. I don't need to know very basic
stuff.

I typically buy wine in the $0-$15 range without a problem just to try,
even just if it looks good or is a variety I've never had. $15-$20 if
its recommended. And anything over that I'd buy if I'd looked into it
and was hunting it down.


Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Mat.
