This week we check a contender for Australia's best riesling that won't break the bank. We also check out a big Coonawarra red blend that is back in great form after a few disappointing vintages and a very young grenache/shiraz that is extremely drinkable right now.
Tasting wine with Jamie Goode of www.wineanorak.com. This time it's the turn of two Rieslings, one from Germany and one from Australia. Delicious but different
We chat with Bob Bertheau, head winemaker for Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville, Wash. Ste. Michelle is the world's largest producer of Riesling, and Bertheau crafts as many as seven different styles annually.
