Alternative Varieties Wine Show results

[darby]

For those who think there is life after shiraz you can get some idea of the experimental, sometimes crazy, exciting creative edge to wine making in Australia by checking out the results of the 2007 Alternative Varieties wine show at
http://www.aavws.com/results.php

15 wines, out of 599, won gold

I imagine some Auswiners would have heard of Viognier, Pinot Gris and Tempranillo, but there were also gold medals for Kerner, Vermentino, Lagrein, Rondinella Corvina and Montepulciano

Some of the big guys got medals (Tahbilk, Brown Brothers) But some smaller guys also got gold.

By the way, anyone know anything about Tar And Roses?

A bit, what did you want to know?

And I was in Barolo last week, if I can be of any use.

The winery won a Gold medal for the Nebbiolo (appropriately)and a bronze for Sangiovese. They also entered a Tempranillo that just missed the medals.

I have not been able to track down contact details for them.

I'd like to know exactly where the wine comes from for my database, and what other goodies they may have.

Gotcha! Here was me thinking about Neb characteristics...
