One of my lovely clients hails from France. We immediately hit it off: I spent a few years of my youth living just a couple of kilometers from the German/French border, on the German side, and watched French telly, so there was lots to talk about.
He asked me if I would like a bottle from his wine rack. I'm hardly a big drinker, but a "No thank you" hardly seemed polite. Then he added that it hails from "1996". I would hardly describe myself as an oenophile, but I took that stamp as a mark of quality. The gent recommended I pass the bottle's contents through something like a coffee filter when filling a glass. That I did not know.
My clients are vintage in quality.
The label reads:
St Hallett
Old Block Shiraz
1996
Barossa
Product of Australia! A cousin of mine probably knows this bottle.
