Australia
Does anyone have any info on the winery that produces the Broken Earth Australian label?
It seems the winery that makes this may have gone under. I can find very little further info on it other than one report that it didn't make it financially. If anyone has any info out there on it, let me know. You can either Tweet me or you can write to me by clicking on the link on the left for "merlotsoul" and follow the email link.
Maybe it was the name that piqued my interest immediately, but I really enjoyed this Chardonnay. I was volunteer bartender last night at an auction and the wines we were serving had been donated. At the end of the night I sat back and enjoyed a glass of this. I am one of the few who actually enjoys the oak flavor to my chardonnay, however, this was a low-oak (if any at all) wine which was very "clean" in flavor. It was citrus-like and melon-full, yet low in acidity. It was smooth and very enjoyable. I had it with cold asparagus and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to purchase some but am finding very little info available.
If I had a cape like Katy Perry's, it would say "Kris Allen". I was a big fan of Kris' even before he sealed the deal by singing my favorite current song "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard and nailed it. I highly, highly recommend Glen Hansard's movie "Once", which contains not only this, but a couple of other incredible songs (and Marketa's hauntingly beautiful accompanying voice) as well as a story line that emotionally effected me.
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling Slowly, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
