Sean ol' buddy, I have tried wines from all over the world.. particularly Chile and South Africa. Unfortunately not much in the way of Californian wines are on sale regularly. I would never knock back a wine because of it's geographic location. I am actually sitting here, at home, looking at my little 'Cellar' and checking out the non-Australian wines that are present. Probably not as many as I would like due to their cost but still there are a number there.
Call me parochial if you wish, but wines from Australia are among the best in the world, but that doesn't mean that I'll spend the rest of my life only drinking wines from Oz.. and shunning the rest.. . unlike our Pommie friend who won't drink Australian wines 'on principle'.
Regards and Happy Scoffing
