Wine Australia has always prided themselves on innovation, so on this hot August afternoon what do they decided to do? Celebrate Christmas of course. Now I understand the theory behind the idea – many media types are readying their holiday editions, so let’s put Wines of Australia at the top of people’s minds – but still, Christmas in August (complete with Turkey, stuffing, Christmas pudding and plenty of carols), not sure I was ready for that. Be that as it may, there were some very nice wines that would make excellent gifts for yourself this coming holiday season. The wines were broken down into 3 categories: Under the Tree (gift packs and bottles); Colour of the Season (Reds, of course) and Stocking Your Cellar (bottles with some longevity) … there were also food matching wines … and that’s where we’ll start (the good news is that all these wines will be, or are, available at the LCBO):
