Hey – I’ve been out of the loop since the fois gras episode…not that i’m holding it against you, i’ve just been busy! Anyway, I’m catching up on some episodes now. But seriouly, is Coles worth a pick-up in my fantasy draft???

Hi Gary
Just looking through a few episodes I missed. I’m glad you liked the Innocent Bystander. First let me say that Victoria is where it’s at for Australian wines and especially the Yarra Valley were this comes from.
I visited the brand new winery / cellar-door / restaurant when I was back in Australia on holidays a few weeks ago. Innocent Bystander is the second label of a mob called Giant Steps who make some pretty good wines. They have some excellent Chardonnayâ??s that I think you may like, quite subtle and not your over-the-top, obnoxious, ‘sunshine in a glass’ cheap rubbish (the stuff that gives Australian a bad name). You need to checkout as many Yarra Valley Pinots, Cabernets and Chardonnays as you can, I’m not sure what makes it to the states, but there’s some lovely wines coming from this area – especially 2004 and 2005s.
