ASSORTED WINES

XX. Brown Brothers
1996 Nebbiolo
King Valley - Victoria $18
Tar, plums, forest floor and a grippy, grippy finish. A slice of northern Italy that screams for a slice of good parmesan - not to be approached without food.

X. Brown Brothers
1997 Noble Riesling
Milawa - Victoria $22
Big, full, sweet, luscious apricot. Rich sexy and a top substitute for massage oil.

X. Glenara Wines
1999 Sauvignon Blanc
Adelaide Hills - South Australia $17
Pale straw with green tinges. The nose is citrussy, ripe and a touch herbal; the palate is lean, clean and fresh. Young and innocent, like Anna Kournikova, just needs a few footy seasons.

X. Goundrey
1998 Riesling
Reserve Mt Barker - Western Australia $20
Like a sunny breakfast table; toasty, lime and floral characters. Classic Aussie riesling with a couple of years under its belt.

X. Goundrey
1999 Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc
Classic White Mt Barker - Western Australia $16
Top blend of the two varieties with a seamless combo of grass and passionfruit. Like the perfect TV host - Don Lane moving between guests without a hitch. Seamless and entertaining to boot.

X. Mount Langhi Ghiran
2000 Riesling
McLaren Vale - South Australia $20
This is breakfast time with those mutant Muppets the Teletubbies - young, fresh and floral with a hint of lime, toast and honey.

XX. Pokolbin Estate
2000 Semillon
Hunter Valley - New South Wales $23
Light fruity nose of white pear and apple with a zesty and fresh palate. This wine's a bitch - young, sexy and perfectly proportioned.

X. Yarra Ridge
1999 Pinot Noir
Mt Tanglefoot Yarra Valley - Victoria $16
Warm, sweet, slightly charred nose paves the way for an attractive palate of strawberries, plums and treacle. Little orphan Annie gives daddy Warbucks a big hug.
