Who are Stu Hay and Dave Cann?

Stuart Hay

image
Name: Stu Hay
Age: Feeling Good
Years in the Game: 20 years
Favourite Beer: Sunner Kolsch Lager from Cologne in Germany. Such a crisp, flavoursome and clean beer and the right size too. 500ml
Favourite Wine Region: Colares, Portugal
Most Awesome Wine Experience: 1991 Wynns Michael Shiraz at a wine dinner with a bunch of industry chums when I was just discovering wine. It spun my head around. A real layercake of a wine. Like a drug I just keep chasing similar experiences. They get harder to find but the pleasure doesn’t diminish
Wine wankerism: I just can’t help talking about what I am tasting, even around people who could not give a toss.
Guilty Wine Pleasure: Cellaring wines. I drink them too late too often, but hell when they look good after 10 years then you can forgive the ones that were shot after 5.
Variety I’m Most Similar to: Grenache - not hip, a little crusty. Subtle, smooth but can get spicy.
Loves a day in the sun.
Variety Dave Thinks I’m Most Similar to: Australian Shiraz – usually found with too much and inappropriate wood

Dave Cann

image
Name: Dave Cann
Age: Younger than Stu
Years in the Game: 13 years
Favourite Beer: Coopers Sparkling Ale (Ah...just like mother’s milk!)
Favourite Wine Region: Chablis, France
Most Awesome Wine Experience: A perfectly cellared bottle of 1954 Seppelt K7 Hermitage (Shiraz) from the Grampians. More muscular than a leotard clad Madonna, this wine put others half its age to shame. Intense juicy plums, cracked pepper, and hints of chocolate...you would have sworn it was still a teenager. Looked like a fifteen year old – kind of felt a little dirty indulging in it.
Biggest Toff Moment: Proposing to my now wife in front of Paul Jaboulet’s La Chapelle in the Rhone Valley. Also goes down as my stupidest decision as it now costs me a bottle of La Chapelle Hermitage each year in September.
Guilty Wine Pleasure: Dessert wines. Anyone who doesn’t admit they like a little sugar on the side is a liar.
Variety I’m Most Similar to: Viognier – could be interesting and flashy, but really just a bit fruity and hard to take seriously.
Variety Stu Thinks I’m Most Similar to: Sauvignon Blanc- Bold, Brassy and thrives on popularity. Loved by the ladies and tolerated by the blokes. Occasionally smells of cats pee.

Another bunch of funky young folk making wines in South Australia, but don't be mistaken, they have serious cred too.

They were recently included in Hallidays list of 10 Best New Wineries rating 5 stars in the 2009 Wine Compannion. Their premium "Fat of The Land" Single Vineyard Barrosa Shiraz and and "The Cream" Barossa Shiraz both scored 95 out of 100 Hallidays

Grape Variety Profiles

Tempranillo

Hola, My Name is...Tempranillo

My amigos often call me...Tinto Fino, Aragonez, Cencibel, Tempranilla, Tinta de Toro, Tinta Roriz, Tinto del Pais, Ull de Llebre.

I have...skin as black as the ace of spades

I grew up in...under the Medditerrian sun in the regions of Rioja and Ribera del Duero in Spain

I usually hung out with... Granacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and Monastrell.

People most like me because...I’m trendy and everyone in the know wants to be associated to “the next big thing”. I became trendy because of my brains, rather than my brawn. I am very dark, intensely complex and a little spicy!!

I’d most like to live...I am not too fussy, but prefer moderate climates. I am not a huge fan of the heat.

I do my best work for...Vega Sicilia in Ribera del Duero. Here I am the King and primarily responsible for Spain’s top red wine, “Unico”. In 2004 a magnum of this prestigious wine was sold at auction for US$65,000.

I bet you didn’t know...as an important part of Port production in Portugal, I am one thing Spanish that the Portuguese actually embrace.

The celbrity most like me is.... Will Smith, I'm not to everyones tastes, but you can't deny I'm cool.
