I guess I've not been helping by drinking New World and Antipodean wines.

No need to worry, the global buck will fix it all up in no time.
**Today I just bought a bottle of Yalumba Barossa 2005 shiraz 2005 at Costco for $10.99. The 2004 was 90 pts. Parker. I liked it. Hope this is OK, too. Dee Dee

2005 is one of those magical years in which almost nothing is below par, and most wines and wine areas are superb. Hope that you thoroughly enjoy it, as I have all of the '05 anythings that I have purchased lately.pavane
I think there is something magical about 2005 myself; and a few times I've mentioned it to a salesperson in a wine store, but it didn't warrant more than a shrug. So I'm glad someone thinks so, too. Thanks for your input. Dee Dee
