The Auswine Forum

where are they available from? Price?

Update. Made through Stellenbosch & Franshoek. Almost cried at how cheap everything is (from houses to food to wine). It was hard to go into a restaurant and order a wine for the equivalent of $20 AUD... it felt like ordering house wine. Wine there just isn't expensive thanks to our tax on tax s...

Thanks for all of the helpful replys. Certainly given us a few first hand ideas. I've printed the thread and will read in more detail with a map. Seems to be the general tone of stay in or near Franschoek which is what we were thinking. Given the multiple mentioning of Boekenhoutskloof, this will be...

Ill seek a few of the others mentioned.

Good thread.

Sounds like a great night.

How was cuisine? I do like a good French restaurant and am from melbs. Wine list any good? although a byo to a French restaurant can't be beat.
