...revised Oxford Companion to Wine: "It is difficult to overestimate the Australian impact." Explains New York City wine expert Humphrey Oguda: "No one has done so much for wine so fast. The giants of Australia, like Penfolds, make more than 1 million bottles of wine a year, and they scare every French winemaker because the quality that goes into a $10 bottle of wine is exactly the same quality that goes into the top of their line.

But I figured if what I needed was instruction in how to scare myself out of my wits, whom better to turn to than a group of impressionable youths that still believe in the boogieman?
