Shoofly 2007 Buzz Cut White (Adelaide)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
You won't find much varietal character in this blend of Viognier, Riesling, Chardonnay, Verdelho and Semillon, but what you get is a medium-bodied white that should prove versatile at the table. Peach, pear and citrus aromas and flavors are carried by moderate weight and a slightly creamy texture.

Shoofly 2006 Aussie Salute Red (Fleurieu Peninsula)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
A blend of Shiraz (70%), Grenache (25%) and Viognier (5%), this is a lush, weighty red imbued with earthy flavors of espresso, olives and dark-skinned plums that linger on the finish. The creamy texture makes it go down easy; pair it with grilled or roasted meats.

Shoofly 2008 Chook Raffle Chardonnay (Adelaide Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $14
This Chardonnay from the cool-climate Adelaide Hills offers plenty to like for the price: hints of toast and vanilla frame fruit that ranges from grilled peaches and pears to ripe melons. Round without being overly rich, this could be served as an apéritif, or with chicken or fish dishes.

Shoofly 2008 Shiraz
- $14
Offers plenty of intensity and suppleness, but lacks a touch of freshness. Still, its dark flavors of cooked-down fruit offer enjoyment over the near term when paired with the right dish, like a savory meatloaf.

Shoofly 2008 Viognier (Adelaide)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Melon and pineapple fruit flavors offer something a little different from other white varieties, and while the wine is full and round in the mouth, it remains focused on the finish, a touch of honey balanced by citrusy notes. Drink now.
