But pairing ignores the first rule of wine drinking. Drink what you enjoy. There are some obvious clashes, but most of the time people should just have what they like. If they have a Washington State Syrah, that’s me sorted. Unless I’m having fish. Then I have a Barossa Valley.

The vice-chair of the Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Appreciation Society is found dead after eating hallucinogenic spinach. Suspicion falls on Midsomer St. Claire’s netball team, disturbed that owls might threaten to reveal the existence of the Society of Elite Librarians.
Okay, coming back to this, I think the correct complimentary answer here is probably something light, with moderate to high acidity and low tannins. But we gotta offset the low alcohol of the Gatorade somehow, so give me an old vine, big-ass Barossa Grenache and let's get chomped!
I learned my lesson in Barossa Valley. Unreal brightness was like something out of Dune and you couldn't go outside without shades and +1 for the wraparound style.
In reality half the time I'm too outraged at the suggestions to actually go with them. Oh an aromatic, creamy and spicy Thai curry? Better slap a high alcohol Barossa Shiraz with that right? *screaming*
The first, where Santos is crowing about Barossa gas being 80% complete and coming online late next year despite its reliance on carbon offsets, while also wringing its hands over the potential it may be made to clean up it's mess, is relevant to a new story I'm working on about CCS in Australia.
