2007 Marquee Classic Shiraz

Credit: JOHN KERNICK

2006 A.T. Richardson Chockstone Riesling

Go to Recipe

2007 Stonier Reserve Chardonnay

Go to Recipe

Stonier's Chardonnay vines are planted on protected north- and northeast-facing slopes on the chilly, sea wind-blasted Mornington Peninsula. The stony, volcanic soils give the grapes fresh, mineral-flecked flavors, as in this apple- and lemon-scented wine.

Pairing: Boiled Lobster with Pepper Butter

2006 Rutherglen Estates The Reunion Mourvèdre/Shiraz/Grenache

Go to Recipe

Pairing: Garlic-and-Spice-Rubbed Pork Loin Roast

Ryan Hardy first tasted a version of this succulent pork from a street vendor in Siena, Italy. "It changed the way I thought about food," he says. "It was fatty and sweet, spicy and succulent, smoky and salty—all at the same time." Hardy uses the rub on other kinds of pork cuts, including the shoulder and leg, but the bone-in pork roast is the most dramatic; he often wraps a piece of pork belly around the side to make the meat extra juicy.

2006 Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier Shiraz/Viognier

Go to Recipe

Pairing: Skirt Steak with Shiso-Shallot Butter

Tyler Florence makes a Korean-inspired marinade for skirt steak with hoisin sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar. With what he calls a "king-of-the-grill mentality," he boldly adds even more layers of flavor by topping the steak with a butter he's blended with caramelized shallots and shiso, an aromatic green leaf used frequently in Japanese cooking. In the United States, shiso leaves are available in Asian markets; one tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon is a fine substitute in this recipe.

2007 Deakin Estate Chardonnay

Go to Recipe

The stony clay of North West Victoria's Red Cliffs yields this well-balanced white with ample flavors of Red Delicious apples and pears, plus a hint of lime zest, that linger on the palate.

Pairing: Sizzing Shrimp Scampi
