I had to laugh when I read the label on this wine. Honestly, I thought it was a joke. But as it turns out, the wine’s name, Woop Woop, is actually Australian slang for in the middle of nowhere. Where I come from, this wine would be called West Bumblefuck — not as appealing a name, eh?

I sampled the Woop Woop Shiraz 2006 at Christmas dinner. Shiraz is a type of wine that I actually have had several times and really enjoy, so I knew that there was good hope for this bottle. I was right. It wasn’t too dry (a pet peeve of mine), had a bit of a zing and went down smoothly.
Sorry, I am not versed enough to talk about bouquets or swirling or anything . . . I just liked it. That’s all.
