Patriotic Prejudice

[Randy Caparoso]

Don't even get me started on Aussie wines, Jeneroo. It's one of my (many) fetishes. Suffice to say (for now) that I think Down Under style Chardonnays and Rieslings (especially from the Margaret River), as well as Semillons (especially Clare Valley's) are amongst the easiest with Asian influenced foods. Just the right combination of zest and between-the-eyes varietal intensity; whereas, such types are extremely rare and far between in, say, California. 'Nuff for now.
