Hello,

I'm seeking advice on a wine dinner that I am putting togther. It is to
be an introduction to Australian wine for 3 couples who eat and drink
wine together. We have done some research on Australian cusine and have
lots of idea's, but would really like to build the food around the
wine. ( I have located some Kangaroo and Alligator that I would love to
work in if possible)

I'd like to get an overview of regions and styles. I am having probably
5-6 courses (including desert) with a total of 8-12 wines. I need to
keep the total wine buget under $240 US. (Please remember that we are
tasting these wines, not guzzling them all down, so it is easy to try 2
or 3 per course.)

Any advice as to regions styles, vinyards and vintages would be
appreciated.


THANX

CHRIS
