I can’t remember if we covered the fairly awful woman on a stick at Laurance winery in Margaret River. It is (of course) by the ubiquitous bronzing banalities the Smiths, but it’s not their worst work. At least it’s like on a stick. All their works should be on very tall sticks. But what I object to more is being told to appreciate Australia while staring at the arse of a woman on a stick. Like excessive flag waving, it is un-Australian. You can’t force me to appreciate freedom and opportunity in front of a golden arse! Aint going to happen. Please take a moment to piss off sans serif style. The Council tried to have this tableau removed in 2009, but unfortunately were unsuccessful. Perhaps it is appropriate that La Laurance’s sentiments are as empty and meritless as the sculpture. As seen by Skink.

How are WA wines? They only stock SA labels round these parts.

In general, very good
But horribly overpriced.
The advent of the vineyard ‘tax benefit’ promoted to the high income mob by their financial advisers back in the ’80s guaranteed the demise of small farm operations due to the horrendous increases in the price of land.
Tipplers are now paying off the elevated capital costs.

Hey Bartender, WA wines are good. Examples can be found. I’ve seen bottles from Vasse Felix, and Leeuwin Estate at one of those barn size wine merchants in Houston that tries to stock something from everywhere in the world. It also helps to know what you are looking for, “Wine of WA” isn’t much of a marketing slogan. You are more likely to see “Margaret River” on the label of a WA wine.

In that case if you like white wine try a Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay barkeeps. If you can find their Art Series, even better.

Thanks for the tips! To reciprocate, if anyone in Perth stumbles over a bottle of HRV wine, sent there in error and intended for a Prohibition-themed toxic cocktail party in Seattle, the reds are wonderful for staining outdoor decking while the whites can be dabbed on as aftershave. The sparking varieties can even be drunk, although the addition of a dare is useful.
