Re NBH's comments that Ms. Wong has been lauded in Malaysia re her Ministry appointment........isn't it just pure irony and hypocrisy that Ms. Wong's sexual preferences are simply not tolerated in Malaysia. Didn't a Deputy Prime Minister get sent to jail for offences that are "abhorrent and unnatural to decent humanity"? I wonder how Penny Wong would be welcomed in Malaysia with her very open lesbian stance - will any of your Minsters shake her hand?

BTW, in times of drought or little rainfall - the wine made is actually usually far superior in quality than a season with lots of rainfall. This is because the grape juice gets more intense, the colour is stronger and deeper (like dark garnet red with purple hues) and has much more flavour, tannin and the wine lives longer in the bottle.
The only problem is the quantity produced is much less and the price tends to go up. However, the quality is quite dependable. Some of the GREAT wines were made & produced during drought years in Australia.

There is always a silver lining in the clouds.........or should I say sun?
