    Some kind of alcohol is usually a good gift for a father.

    He puts away enough piss as it is. I will have to try get him off the beer though, back onto the wine atleast. That Australian "Yellowtail" that you yanks love seems to be the go, might see if that is available.

    Yellowtail isn't bad, but it seems kinda overhyped.

    Yeah, does seem that way. But for an Aussie wine to bust into the American market is pretty special, so what better way to check out the hype than buy a bottle. Ya never know.

    I'm the kind of person who buys a wine based on what country it comes from, and I spent about 3 months working in a wine store. Yellowtail was always popular, I think because they came in huge bottles and were relatively cheap by volume.

    Its not bad wine by any means, but there are other Aussie wines that are a lot better, IMHO.

    No worries mate, I'll have a gander in the bottleshop tomorrow. I think I know which one yellowtail is, but might get a book or somthing. Will make for an interesting day or shopping with all the post Christmas sales. Cheers.
