Yeah. I figured it was more caricature than reality.

But I'm not sure if I've even eaten there, and if I have, it's been years.

That... doesn't sound either flattering or tasty, but _does_ sound entertaining.

I think most places that make wine end up with various places that can make very good wine.

Those I've had, never particularly thought of as Australian, and thought were quite good.

But I like ginger beers and root beers, with the spicier they are, the better.

 Sp> good book, the odd port can be pretty spiffy too.

Interesting! Though, sadly, I think port is another thing that's especially lost on me -- fortified wines tend to be too sweet for me, or too high on the alcohol flavor.

But it does sound like a pleasant evening and scenario.
