I forgot to mention, it's a yes/no quiz, you don't have to work out the answer from the photo.

Whilst the picture says shiraz vine, it certainly doesn't look to be nearing the ton.

It may be a Durif vine, 2008 being the centenary of its introduction to Rutherglen.

I know im doing ok too as every post you delete you have to read first to see if it merits deletion. Hence the purpose of the post has been fulfilled anyway.

Umm

Can we stick to wine discussion perhaps, or in this case, quiz answering?

As ever here on auswine we stay away from swapping personal insults and so on.

Its all about the wine, as they say, or in this case, the wine quiz.

:wink:

The photo above surprised me somewhat given the significance of 2008 to this winery/vineyard.

griff · Post by **griff** » Fri Oct 31, 2008 1:50 pm

was 2008 a positive year?

Or was it a negative year?

cheers

Not quite sure how to answer, let's just say there was much to celebrate.
