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

Noble One?

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

How about Darren, then?

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

Clearly an enthusiastic uptake for this quiz instalment... :(

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?
