Leroy's Wine Blog

Being involved in the wine industry, we've been fortunate enough to try the odd ripper vino, and have even managed to stash a few away.

Wine is one of things where you either love it or you tolerate it. And above all the snooty, posh wine w#nk - as referred to by those who fear it, its perhaps best to think of wine the way the legendary Bob McLean (of St Hallet fame) like to refer to it* -

"a bottle of wine is 750ml of fun, and its only a good one if you like it!".

While sitting in the studio with a client, sipping on a fine McLaren Vale Shiraz and scoffing Golabki (a Polish dish, pronounced gowombki) in between fiddling with label mounting heights (to the nth degree), it dawned on me that we could share our opinions and even make some recommendations with other keen drinkers. Perhaps even talk labels too.....After all, I'd be out of a job if tank sample labels were in vogue.

So, with this idea hot in hand, Leroy's Wine Blog is born.

Cheers.

Comment:
Surprisingly easy to drink now, stratight out the box. Everybody here in the studio liked it, if that's some indication. New label too. I reckon it'll shock the loyal punters who have been around longer than colour TV, but then all good vintages come to an end.
