I'm quite partial to the Semillon Chardonnays, though they tend to be a little sweet. We've tended to drink more Chenin Blanc for everyday use. We get given so many bottles of good wine that we haven't gone out looking for anything ourselves. It's a good arrangement, but it puts me in a poor position to recommend anything specific. Of course I can always say "If it's from McLaren Vale, it's got to be good", and if you find a bottle of Château Kuitpo (uit pronounced as the English word "eye"), you shouldn't pass it up. I think that, on the whole, the Australian reds are not as good as the whites.
