I am compiling another book. It is five years since my last one, Rare Ozzies was published. You can still get the ebook version of it from Amazon.
Beyond Shiraz will cover the 200 wine grape varieties used in Australia, or maybe it is 202.
A list of the varieties to be covered in Beyond Shiraz can be found in this document.
I am offering subscribers of the Vinodiversity Community a chance to get their name in this book. They will make food suggestions for a few of the varieties mentioned in Beyond Shiraz.
If you wish to have your name in my forthcoming book, please email me [email protected] with a food suggestion for one (maybe two or three) of the wines listed in this Google Doc.
Just a couple of lines is plenty. Please be more specific.
Rather than saying
Good with paste and pizza
Elaborate a bit to say
This red would go well with a spicy pasta like Spaghetti Putanesca
A couple of examples will give you the idea.
Arinto’s acidity and citrusy flavour calls for richer seafood dishes, perhaps based on the Portuguese speciality bacalhau (salt cod) - Darby Higgs, Vinodiversity
Shiraz is good with tinned spaghetti with tomato sauce on toast - Joe Blow, Blowhard Estate Wines, Blowsville.
