Wine Of The Week


If you are looking for an inexpensive Shiraz, then Mallee Point from Austrailia is the one for you.  Casella Wines are ones you can serve everyday and not go broke. I know, I too was a wine snob, not wanting any wine that came from Australia. The wine salesman dared me to try it. This wine is full bodied and has fresh berry fruit with vanilla-oak aromas. This will go well with any of your favorite dishes. The wine offers spicy undertones and ripe raspberry flavours with soft tannins, leaving no bitter taste.. The founders of Casella Wines immigrated to Australia from Italy. Filippo and Maria Casella, brought their knowledge of three generations of wine growing with them. Casella Wines is Austrailia's largest family owned winery and 15% of the wine leaving Austrialia, comes from their winery. Casella's has a new bottling line that can process 36,000 bottles per hour, which is the fastest bottling line in the world. The Casella's started the Yellow Tail wine brands in 1969 and in May of 2010 they triumphed again. Yellow Tail raked number 4 in the global wine industry and 34 in the top 100 wines globally. Casella has won more than 2,000 awards over the past two years. You might want to try Mallee Point.
