Australia is a geographically large country and while each state does make wine, the premier wine growing regions are located in the southern part of the country. To kick off the Boozie Biddies passport tour of major global wine regions, the biddies dive into South Australian wines from the Barossa and Eden Valleys while touching on each major region, varietals, labeling laws, and history.
