Friday's Quiz

Irrespective of how the ‘Little Gold Book’ is regarded by many now, to his credit, Robin Bradley was one of the first to publish a user friendly guide to Australian (now incorporating NZ) wine. He probably did as much as any other individual to assist ‘budding’ wine drinkers in gaining some understanding of quality differences, vintage variation, price, etc. The Gold Book was first published in 1979 and has changed little over the years, but one change that took place was the introduction of the Gold Star category. So, today’s quiz is: what were Robyn Bradley’s initial thirteen ‘Gold Star’ wines?
