Enjoyed retasting this is bottle with Guillaume Thienpont. Second vintage where he’s been making the wine… when not busy at VCC or Le Pin… (fascinating/instructive watching bottle price rise after his involvement)

@australian Where are you going to go you ask @AnnastaciaMP ? Perhaps not Tokyo but maybe France where life is practically back to normal. #strandedaussie

Australian govt appears to have lost the plot completely managing Covid. This latest update upsetting on so many levels. After nearly 2 yrs of closed borders, hoping « family reunion » will soon be considered a justification to travel #strandedaussie #vaccinated @theage

The move serves as a deterrent for Australians who live abroad but may need to return home for distress travel, such as a family member becoming critically ill or dying. https://t.co/6bSCfjucoQ

@theage @DanielAndrewsMP @michaelfowler08 @paulsakkal 30000 might be the official number but there appears to be zero recognition of the rest of the #strandedaussies making no official applications to return home but waiting patiently for Australia to get it’s act together and implement an effective plan.

Today we launched our Export Label Image Search System (ELISS) to help Australian wine producers protect their intellectual property rights. From today, images of labels must be provided to Wine Australia as a precursor to gaining export approval for packaged products.

@theage Absolutely shocking scenario for those parents to endure. Astonishing that this has been allowed to happen.

[Wine Australia @wine_australia]

Australian wine exports declined by 4 per cent in value to $2.77 billion in the 12 months to March 2021, driven principally by the toll taken by high Chinese tariffs, according to Wine Australia’s latest Export Report released today.
