Woop Woop – Australian Shiraz

I’m beginning to really like my red wine in the evening. (Oh gawd, I’m turning into my mother! In this case, I don’t mind too much.)

So Big Bad Dad has been hitting the liquor store shelves looking for something good to bring home. A recent find was Woop Woop, a 2004 Shiraz from Australia. Great stuff!

Here’s what BusinessWeek online had to say about it:

89 points. This 100% shiraz from South Australia sees some oak, a small amount of which is new wood. (New barrels impart more flavor than those that have been used before.) Notes of flowers, black currants, licorice, and road tar are discernible, but the emphasis is on oodles of up-front fruit, an opulent attack, sweet tannin, and a lush, heady mid-palate and finish. This is the type of everyday red that will be exceptionally popular. Enjoy it over the next two to three years. $11

Believe it or not, 10 ounces of red wine is only four Weight Watchers Points. That’s a pretty big indulgence for not many points – and at $11 a bottle, a great buy.

Wonder if we can get a discount on a case? Hmmmmmm….
