A few years back some cashed up people decided that they could get rich by getting together and buying up a heap of great Australian wine. The scheme went bust and now the huge holdings are being released to you and I via an online auction, so this week we check out four wines worth bidding on. There's a couple of well know shiraz bottles with up to 7 years age on them already, plus a less well known cabernet that is a stand out from the range on offer. Be sure to check out graysonline.com.au for bidding details.

This week we look at a great Barossa red with a German sounding name which is made in the classic Rhone style. We also look at a brilliant Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend from a producer well known for their great whites plus a Shiraz which is still exceptionally affordable despite an ever growing list of super reviews than might cause other wineries to raise their prices.
This week were telling you to rush out and grab these bottles before they're all gone! The first is a Penfolds Bin series that was sold-out... but seems to have resurfaced. The second is the little brother of the wine just named the world's best red. The last is one of the world's best rieslings and time is of the essence if you want to have any for your cellar! Grab them all while you can!
This week all three wines come from South Australia. We look at yet another inexpensive riesling from the Clare Valley that is great value and a big, powerful shiraz from McLaren Vale. We also look at a red blend from a Clare Valley producer adored by wine critics and drinkers alike.
Another vintage is almost done down under, and another football season is about to begin. With our minds on the footy we look at a great everyday wine with a label that has an unintentional football theme. With vintages in mind we look at a French wine from a great year, and just to prove things aren't always changing, we look at a great value riesling too.
This week we look at three wines perfect for opening up after your main meal is done. The first is a Muscat which is under the vino-lok closure to make sure the wine is at its best. The next is a sweet white made in the style of the great French sauturnes. And it wouldn't be a desert wine special without looking at a brilliant fortified from Rutherglen.
This week Brad and Danny disagree over a wine variety. Brad looks at a New Zealand wine that's incredibly popular, but Danny isn't won over. However there are no arguments when it comes to the two reds we recommend. There's a recently released cabernet sauvignon from Penfolds and a cellar release from Jacobs Creek, both of which are certain to hit the mark.
This week we look at a great Red blend in the style of a Cotes du Rhone but from a great Barossa producer, a bargain red worth a long hard look and a brilliant Hunter Semillon from one of Australia's greatest vineyards.
This week we look at three Italian grape varieties in a Wine Week special. The first comes from the white grape arneis. The second may be the best known of the Australian produced Italians in the form of the Chianti grape sangiovese. And the final wine comes from a grape popular not only in Italy, but California as well, zinfandel.
