- winoweenie - 11-09-2009 Looking for my annual Thanksgiving bottles to haul to Rocky Point. This is the 1st to try and will definately be in the running fo a box buy. From the Hunter Valley a perfect example of the varietal. Also it doesn't hurt that they are supporters of the "Pink Awareness Breast Cancer" network. Will be on the short list. WW - wondersofwine - 11-10-2009 Do you know WW if this was the Hope the Ripper Shiraz? Perhaps they make a basic Shiraz pluz the Ripper version. I have posted twice on the Hope the Ripper which I really enjoyed. - winoweenie - 11-10-2009 Don't think so WOW. This is tied in with the "Pink Ribbon" breast cancer awareness program. WW - brappy - 11-11-2009 Just getting a chance to check in.... If memory serves, the "Ripper" is from Western Australia. However, it is actually shipped, I believe, in juice form to the Hunter Valley in which they make the wine. It's been awhile since I actually tasted this and heard the story, so I could be wrong. mark - wondersofwine - 11-12-2009 You're correct Brappy. |
