Today is the Edinburgh Great Shiraz Challenge 2021. CJ last attended one of these with mates a decade ago.

The event is held in a huge tent erected in the parking lot between the hotel and the liquor store.

Although there may be as many vendors at this event, it is a mere shadow of its former self. The original one CJ and mates attended had all of the big producers such as Penfolds, Henley Farms, and Clarendon Hills. None of the big guys are here. None of the great wines are here. We are disappointed and depart after sampling few wines. 

One should never go into a liquor store after a wine tasting. There are only two wine stores in the Adelaide area with a good selection of French and European wines. This is one of them. Take his credit cards away.
