Also post 4 is another Aussie.

In the under-$10 range (which is just about all I ever buy), I’m fond of Lindeman’s Bin 50 (Southeastern Australia). Runs $7 - 8 around here.

I’ll typically go Lindemann’s, but if I can find it, Woop Woop is a good (and fun-named) label.

Everyone seems to like Yellow Tail. I would go for Green Point shiraz.

*Woop Woop * is an Australianism for a remote spot “someplace way out the back of nowhere”.

If you’re looking for Aussie shirazes, or shiraz blends, I like:

Leasingham Bastion Shiraz Cabernet (2001’s good)
Brown Brothers Everton Shiraz Cabernet Malbec (no idea about year, it’s all good).

Both taste terrific and are well under $20 AUD here.

Why not just put in another 4 bucks and get a case of Trader Joe’s “Two-buck Chuck”. It’s actually not that bad.
