I've always tried Merlot as a blend, but never by itself before. As it was selling for a ridiculously low price - $6.97 to be exact - I thought to myself, "Why not now?"
Merlot has always been seen as the little brother to the more popular Cabernet Sauvignon; when it's blended (you'll never find it as Merlot Sauvignon), or at the...

There is wine that's good; and then there is wine that's just great. Squashed, macerated and fermented right here in Western Australia, Sandalford has produced one of the finest quality Cabernet Sauvignon I've ever tried.
It doesn't even cost you an arm and a leg to get your hands on this. Ok maybe just the leg... Why? Because it's......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PA!
To the greatest Dad in the world...
You have eyes on your head... Watching out for us always...
You blow us away with your wisdom...
During times of impending danger...
Or when I get into trouble...
We can count on you to save us when we're drowning...
You always put on a brave face during signs of danger...
You fear nothing! Even the camera man...
You lead us by the hand through the darkness & the unknown...
When times are bad, we can always count on you for help...
When the world is shaking, you keep us steady...
You help us put things into perspective...
You're always reaching for greater errr... Heights!
Your presence is felt everywhere... Even outside the toilet.
You rock our world all the time...
I know where I got my dashing good looks from...
You know how much we love you Dad...
No matter how funny you look sometimes...
Happy Birthday Dad!

5 years ago, on this very day... I can still remember.
One Tuesday night, in the month of September...
I came back home but no one answered the door.
There was a silence that I've never heard before.
Suddenly the door swung open and my sister told me to come in,
Hurry she says, not even asking how my day had been.
I watched in horror as one of the buildings was burning.
Watching the news, not even sure of what I was hearing.
Seconds later, it all became clear to me...
When another plane flew into the tower, for the whole world to see.
All the souls that were lost, may they rest in heaven.
That day for me, was my September 11...
This is not a message to promote hate to anyone, to any group or to any religion. The world has persecuted each other enough for the past 5 years and I don't wish to add to it. However this goes to show one thing...
People die in the name of God. But no one wages war in the name of Jesus.
Jesus never fails... Love never fails.

If you've heard of the word "Crikey!" and understand what it means, then congratulations... You're one step closer to being a master of the Irwinian vernacular! ^_^
The Columbus Dispatch has attempted to overcome this language barrier by kindly translating some of Steve Irwin's famous phrases into layman-speak...
"Isn't she gorgeous!" = This is a female animal.
"Check out the size of this bloke!" = This is a large animal.
"Have a look at this little beauty!" = This is a dangerous and repellent animal.
"You're OK, mate." = Don't bite me.
"Holy smokes, that was close!" = I barely avoided being bitten.
"Crikey!" = Wow!
Rest in peace mate... ^_^

Mention the word "Lexia" at any wine shop and you'll surely be directed to one of 2 places. One is the rack at the back which houses all the cheap cask wines. The other, contains this beautiful bottle from Brown Brothers. This Muscat variety has been proven so popular...
