Welcome to this weeks Irregular Update. As well as the Tour Diary, this week there is a new Snippet. Titled "Like a Bad Smell, They Don't Go Away - everything you need to know about not investing in wine, has been added. The snippet came about as a result of another request from a reader who had been approached to invest in wine.
This week in Chapter Three of the 2007 South Australian Tour Diaries, we continue our journey through the wineries of McLaren Vale. Ever heard of Thomas Vineyard Estate? After reading this you may want to buy their wines. Fox Creek is always a popular winery, so we visited there next. Primo Estate has a new cellar door that's a must stop. Then it was on to Shingleback followed by two disappointments, Coriole and Lloyd Bros. Maxwell has two new fighting brands that punch well above their weight, as well as new new premium. Foggo was next and then another disappointment at Woodstock. That, plus a whole lot more in Chapter Three, can be found here.
Each Chapter is pretty big so if you will prefer to read hard copy, there is now a link in each Chapter what will allow you to print the document out in its correct format. It will print in landscape format to retain integrity, but reading that is a lot easier than a screen. The feedback feature will be enabled in every Chapter, so please submit your feedback, thoughts and questions.
Chapter Four may be delayed next week, not because I have been slack and not completed it, but because Brian has been inconsiderate enough to go to New Zealand on holidays. As soon as he is back and has proofread it, the Chapter will go up on TORBWine.
