Even better its just $12.<br \/>                                              \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p>PHOTO CAPTIONS:<\/p>\n<p>SHARE Tim Adams&#8217; 2007 Clare Valley Riesling with baked stuffed Barramundi.<\/p>\n<p>A FIRST for Rosemount: a Sauvignon Blanc from 100% New Zealand fruit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wc3Mar08 YOUR WEEKLY WINE COLUMN for week beginning 3 March 08 wine with david ellis TIM Adams has done it again with his 2007 Clare Valley Riesling, crafting once more a wine that to our palate is a seafood-lover&#8217;s delight.
