Are you a CHEAP Shiraz fan? Got a secret to share? My favourite CHEAP Shiraz is Timara - only $9 a bottle. I just opened a bottle of Durbanville 2010 Shiraz which normally costs a little more but it was on special so I thought I would try it - what a mistake that was - I think Todd Carney may have tampered with it.

Banrock Station White Shariz is a lovely wine, not too sweet and not acidic. goes with red or white meat, looks great in a wine glass as it is a mid pink colour and is only $8.99 at PNS

you know what, I full agree that you can get an awesome wine for $10. I have got a Spanish wine called Marqués de Riscal Próximo Rioja, $9.99, it beautiful, medium body, great flavours. great wine for the price. highly recommend it anyone

Interesting but I can't find any mention of it anywhere except for on Wine4u. It has a ton of favourable reviews and all the other wines on the site have none.

Searched for it - $20 at all the NZ sites which stocked it.

If you can get a Taylors red wine under ten bucks you are on to a winner!

Aha, I have a bottle ot Taylor's Shiraz 2010. Was a Countdown special of course BUT I see it's only $11 Countdown Online and I think I paid a little more ON SPECIAL. Ack, never trust wine retailers with their pricing!

Am on line to order it as we speak.

I like McGuigans shiraz, buy it on special at NW for $7.00. Have some expensive wines at home too, but I like McGuigans better.

I just stripped the lining of my stomach. Might have to drink extra water - feel a headache coming on.

back to the shiraz - Hardy's and I think there is a Matthew Longridge (or something, haven't seen it in a while) Shiraz mix.
