Hmm, that name is familiar. I’m pretty sure the LCBO carries that line. Not sure about who has it in BC.

I believe “Cockfighter’s Ghost” has a premium Pinot from Tansmania.

I tried it at a trade tasting at some point over the last couple of years, but can’t remember anything about it.

Jake, again the problem with Australia – almost none of their great wines make it out of the country! What a shame.

The Grosset sounds good… haven’t tried it yet.

I’ve got a friend from Tasmania who claims they make some of the best Pinot in Australia. From what I gather about the climate there, it makes sense.

These are very small production wines and I’m pretty sure you wont find them over here.

Interesting. Can you get any of it around these parts?
