Join us for a change in latitude then virtually visit some Central Ohio markets.

Prior to his trip Down Under Jim checked with Kent Rand at Hills Market for a tip on cheese tourism. Kent passionately suggested Whitestone Windsor Handmade Blue from NZ. Jim finally found this rare cheese at The Epicurian in Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne.

Wine regions in Australia:
Start with the World Atlas of Wine – 6th edition – available from the Columbus Metro Library.

Hunter Valley –

Note:  2008 is a bad year for Hunter Valley vintages.

The country has been in drought over 5 years but Hunter Valley had too much rain this year so many grapes are rotting on the vine.

Jim also hit the Rutherglen Region (Tokays, Muscats, and Durif's) and the Yarra Valley (Home of Yering Station Fortified Shiraz - the greatest red wine ever).  We hear about these wine spots too.


Be sure to support our local independent markets! Hills, Weiland's and North Market deserve our business.

Next time you're in Cincinnati, check out Jungle Jim's. It is a HUGE market.
