It turned out that clients of mine from the social event video world are the owners of Vine Street Imports, a wine importer. Naturally, I had to try one, so I picked up a bottle of their 2008 Boxhead Shiraz.
This is from the Barossa region of Australia, and is a very fruit-forward wine. The fruit practically leaps to the nose, and the wine is a classic tooth-stainer. There is a bit of spice in this young, full-bodied wine, and the finish was very smooth and tasty.
I think this would be an outstanding wine for tailgating, and it would go really well with burgers or ribs. It would also be a nice fire-side wine.
