Bailey’s Glenrowan 1904 Block Shiraz 2000
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008In the world of Australian Wine I bow to my insomniac mate Dr Edward, who I hope will comment on this post to put me straight.
I understand that Richard Bailey was an Aussie pioneer which, to an English Gent like me, roughly translates as a base criminal, or an opportunistic, albeit war weary, £10 Pom. In fairness, the guy came from Manchester so was almost certainly a Man City fan and for that alone I respect him, crim or not.
I have never been to Van Diemen’s Land, a fact I regret. But I did hear of one Pommie who arrived by air recently and, when asked by an Aussie customs official “Do you have a criminal record?”, could have selected a more diplomatic answer than “Sorry, no, do you still need one?”
