3)Trevor Jones ‘Boots’ Gris Blanc 2008 : Another Eden Valley winery which collected a Blue Gold award in Sydney for their Riesling under this label… so for something slightly different we have selected this unusual blend of Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. It exhibits spicy fruit and is decidedly crisp and flavoursome… a great lunchtime wine.
4) Evans and Tate Classic Dry White 2008 :. E&T have created an enviable show record over the years receiving numerous trophies and gold medals at both domestic and international competitions; and this one is high on a recent list of the Top 10 most popular wines in the country… a blend of WA Semillon and Sauv Blanc with a touch of Chardonnay.
5) Moondah Brook Verdelho 2008 (Top Silver, Perth Wine Show and Melbourne Wine Show 2007) This very popular WA Verdelho is always good with spicy Asian foods and fresh seafood or chicken dishes. Best drunk young and fresh .

subtle smoky oak….the Annies Lane range are consistent
