In one of Stuart’s first posts he told us that he likes wine because it transcends class. Over the weekend I discovered a fine example of just how much this is true. These guys are all class. Kudos to The Bogan’s Guide To Wine for giving a “goon bag” a good go. Enjoy!
.
The truth in all this is that wine does not need to be pompous and it can be enjoyed by anyone however they like. I’m a fan of anyone who has passion for wine even if they don’t fully describe their love of wine in overly articulate and fancy terms.

You guys are great.

We love wine, from all sorts of angles! By the way, read your post on juice this morning and had to get me a freshly squeezed before posting this up. Cheers!

Reblogged this on Duff's Wines and commented:
This has a very McKenzie Brothers vibe but it does expose our prejudice against boxed wine and, the exorbitant mark up on Aussie wine in Ontario. Fun. Well Done!

That package seems very useful instead of bottles, does it make a difference with the wine?
Didnt thought but subtitles were needed at moments.

It is a very useful invention, but has traditionally been used for cheaper mass-produced wines. The De Bortoli reserve series is probably as good as it gets (hence why they chose it I am guessing).
Oh, it would take me a huge effort to get myself even half as good looking as my Gravatar! He’s his own man, but now clearly part of the team.

Oh, yes. Pompous will suck all the fun out of wine. Have I been mispronouncing Shiraz as Shiroz rather than Shirez? or is that a colloquial pronunciation?

Well, I am here now! Maybe we can share a few stories… I could tell you about the time I went to a friends wine tasting and got pretty tanked. Then we stopped at a bar where I had a beer… That was the worse 4th of July, although the fireworks were great!

Hi Sampy,
A good show you’ve got going there! I came across your “How to be a wine wanker” episode last weekend and after going through a fair bit of your series I thought the best one to post would be the De Bortoli Premium Shiraz, considering at least half of our readers are from overseas.
Cheers!
