I hope I am not jumping the gun, but the question was asked if anyone else would want to pose a question.
I will be happy to do this tomorrow.

Similar but slightly different. Here are two clues that can lead to two answers but generally describing the same thing.
Anyway:
De Bortoli and wine awards

Forget about goodness and mercy, they're gone.

Noble One?
No
However, the answers are both a person(s) and a wine.

Deen De Bortoli?
Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.

Yes, but only one third of the answer.
Still looking for the connections. Another winemaker and the wine.

Ok, so question might have been a little too hard.
Darren de Bortoli and Brent Marris have combined to create "three tales" sav blanc. Yet another NZ/AUS collaboration.
The link with wine awards was referring to the Wither Hills debacle at the Cuisine wine awards a few years back.
I am sorry to have started off with such an obtuse(?) question.
Let me try and redeem myself.
Who is the first person to hold a Phd in both Oenology and Viticulture in Australia?
