QUEENSLAND WINE
Ever wondered what grapes grow the best in sunny QLD? You’re not the only one! Some actually believe that great wine doesn't come from Queensland as you don’t see a lot of it in bottle shops or overseas. This is far from the truth as Queensland produces award-winning wine year after year. The only reason you don’t see Queensland wine as much as some of our other states, is because almost all of the wineries in QLD are boutique and family owned and operated – which in our opinion, are the best kind of wineries! Boutique wineries do not have the capacity to mass-produce to sell to larger merchants, which is actually a great thing as ‘quality’ is their focus, rather than ‘quantity’ like larger commercial wineries. Winemakers from boutique wineries will see the grapes from start to finish. Grapes are handpicked - not machine picked. There is no need for them to add all the preservatives and cut costs as much as possible like some commercial wineries that are often bought out by large corporations that have no background in winemaking.

AWARDS Queensland is often in the spotlight for their unique and interesting wine varieties. Our most famous wine judge and critic in Australia, James Halliday awards many Queensland wineries as 5 star wineries in his book ‘The Wine Companion’ annually. Every single venue we visit on our tours are hand picked and award winning. We even visit two of ‘James Halliday 5 star wineries’ on our most popular Full Day Wine Tour. CLIMATE Guess what? Although QLD is a warmer state in general, most of our growing regions in QLD are considered cool climate wine regions. Our largest region ‘the Granite Belt’ sometimes even snows in winter. A lot of the wineries on Tamborine Mountain will actually source many of their grape varieties from these cooler regions in Queensland, thus producing cooler climate wines –
Port Arthur was Australia’s largest and most notorious prison holding the most vicious and hardened criminals from 1837 to its closure in 1877.

Nearby and global feedback of the "Cellared in Canada" hone and the LCBO rose. Under the "Cellared in Canada" mark, which in present is frequently regarded as "International - Canadian mixes", Canadian wine makers are permitted to import pre-fermented grape must from grapes developed in different nations to transform wines under their wine name. In Ontario, makers are permitted to designate these wines as being "cellared" in Canada when they hold no less than 30% neighborhood Ontario grapes. As of April 1, 2014, this rate will change to 25% Ontario wine, which may be from labrusca mixed bags. Truly, this rate has changed fiercely, because of occasional deficiencies and surpluses of Ontario grapes, ...

When World War II ended, there was an increasing demand for wine in the New World countries, contrary, liter consumption per capita declined in traditional wine consuming countries such as Italy, France and Spain. Old World producers were not capable responding quickly to the demand or penetrating the new markets because limited land and strict rules and regulations. For instance, land is abundant, inexpensive, and extremely apt for grape production in the New World. With much access to land, vineyards were able to expand greatly; vineyards in the United States averaged around 213 hectares, Australia 167 hectares, whereas Italy averaged around 1.3 hectares, and France 7.4 hectares.

Absinthe has been a topic of great consternation in both social and artistic realms for generations. The green liqueur dates back to Greek and Roman times and is even mentioned in the Bible, but it has still managed to earn a negative reputation over the past one hundred years. Nineteenth century society as a whole enjoyed and drank absinthe. It, and the controversy surrounding it, inspired many painters of the time such as Degas, Manet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Raffaelli, to create works featuring the drink. Even though it was a controversial substance, absinthe provided these artists with the inspiration and motivation needed to create some, if not a majority of, their works.

Robert Mondavi built a state-of-the-art winery that became a premium winemaking facility as well as conveying a unique sense of Mondavi wines to the visitors. Soon the new winery became a place where the best practices in the production of premium wines were developed, eventually establishing the standard in the wine industry. Robert Mondavi was the first winemaker who assembled experts with various back¬grounds in the fields of viticulture and winemaking to give advice on the new wines. He also developed new technology that allowed special handling of grapes and the cold fermentation of white wines. Furthermore, Mondavi's company created process innovations, such as steel fermentation tanks, vacuum corking of bottles, and aging of wines in new French oak barrels. Dedicated to growing vines naturally, Robert Mon¬davi introduced a natural farming and conservation program that allowed enhanced grape quality, environmental protection, and worker health.

Everyone is a part of a community. Most people are a part of multiple communities. A community is a group of people that have a commonality. Sometimes it is based on where you live, hobbies, goals, etc. I believe that communities are created unconsciously and are connected to someone’s identity, especially when a person is considered a part of multiple communities. Sometimes, a person may connect very well with their community. Sometimes, a person may feel very distant from their community. In the movie, “English Vinglish”, the main character, Sashi, shows examples on how communities are created through commonalities, and the acculturation theory. Sashi was a part of multiple communities. A few communities included her, her Daughter’s school,
