Fizzy wine with high tannin content and low acid? I'm only just getting used the red wine that's pink.

I have included it because I had heard/read that Aussie soldiers in WW1 were very taken by the sparkling red wine from Bouzy, in the Champagne area, said to be the only sparkling red wine made in Champagne but maybe in France? The name 'Burgundy' was just a generic tilt toward one of the two most famous French wine regions that came to represent 'wine' in general. Much like you blokes in your clubs still refer to it as 'Claret', LOL! Quite a few of these soldiers returned from war to their native Sth Australia intent on duplicating the wine style that they had enjoyed. This could possibly explain that states facination with the stuff. My understanding is that it is now quite unique to OZ? In my family we always celebrate Christmas with S.B. One year the father in law rolled out a Seppelts Great Western en magnum, 1945!!! It was still OK & unbeleivably had a bit of fizz still left in it! My fave though, it the Sparkling Durif from Morris followed by Grand Merlot by James Irvine. Yes it is a questionable one Ed.

Gobbler, I'm just not sure about the sparkling burgundy otherwise a nice list. Thanks for all those other lists that I missed – I guess I’ve been neglecting visiting other blogs for a while.

It is hard to know what is distinctively Australian sometimes - but one that stands out to me is flake - my Scottish partner was amazed at flake when he first come here and used to laugh about having a 'shark supper' when off to the fish and chip shop I have done a personal 100 list at http://gggiraffe.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-personal-vegetarian-100-list.html but mine includes quite a few choice picks from travels and also is vegetarian – I like the gobbler’s list – included a few of these – one thing I would add to his list is lime spider – such a great name even though I have them rarely these days.
