pirramimma cabernet sauvignon '99

[Kcwhippet]

Well, let's try to straighten up some of this. From what I've been able to find out, Pirramimma isn't imported into the U.S. I've checked with our distributors, and none of them knows of anyone who brings it in. Apparently, most of their sales are cellar door with a small amount being distributed around eastern and southern Australia, and an even smaller amount finding it's way to the UK. So, I don't think many people here (if any of them) have even seen it. That would make Foodie's suggestion that Libby try the wine herself even more meaningful. She can get the wine, we can't. If the shop where she does her wine shopping has competent personnel, they should be able to tell her all she needs to know without her even having to buy the wine. By the way, Pirramimma wines retail in Australia for about $8 to $10 according to my sources, so they're far from being too "fancy" for anyone's budget. By the way, Libby, what is your chosen occupation? The only thing I could derive from your initial post is that you're either a "complete novice" or an "alcoholic student", neither of which I would consider a worthy occupation.
