What I'm Drinking Tonight
Ho golly, have we got a good one here.
Continuing with Tim's most excellent 'go fugly' advice on Aussie wine advice may I present "Molly Dooker "The Boxer" Shiraz 2006"
A gorgeous deep purklely red in the glass, and the taste is simply divine: a soft sweet plum that finishes with a lot of chocolate. Simply amazing. I think it cost in the mid $20s, but I honestly can't be sure as the alcohol content is rated a Whoopadeedoopa stunning 16%, and that loverly level over the 2/3s of the bottle that I have consumed so far makes me much more interested in singing along with Beniamino Gigli at a very loud volume.
And as I'm a baritone and he's the bestest tenor ever, well, it's a good thing my Bride is drinking too.
Did I mention it was 16% alcohol?

I'd say the artist who designed the label had a few glasses too many. The boxer has two left hands.

I must add, it's a good thing that your connection to the innertube doesn't contain audio. Especially with that 16% alkie vino lubricating your vocal chords.
