Interesting to see the big names that haven't done all that well!

Yes, sometimes there are looks of amazement when the identity of a winning wine is revealed. However, having been involved in stewarding for many years, it is a very honest show and the right results 'on the day' come out.

Depends on your definition of big names - Fosters look to have done extremely well across the board, although they also seem to have a massive number of entries in comparison to Constellation & Pernod Ricard. Majella & Thorn Clarke have done very well again from a limited presence.

I thought there were some interesting Judges' comments about some of the vintages attached to the bottom of the classes: raves about the quality and diversity of riesling in 2009, generally very good comments about the 2009 reds and some damning ones about 2007 & 2008.

I seem to have a thing for Stodart Trophy winners, so I will have to keep an eye out to see if that Barwang Top Tier is available somewhere locally...

Cheers,

Good to see Thorn-Clarke's third ranking Sandpiper range continuing to box above its weight and Brookland Valley's second ranking Verse 1 getting a gong. Warren Buffet, a value investor, would be proud and a buyer.

Interesting to see Woolies enter wine under their own label....
