I was surprised to encounter this wine at the Club. Now the Club is not averse to bringing in some exotic wines for the members to try and/or buy, and we have had some interesting examples over the years, including wines from Mexico and Cuba, both of which I have written about in this blog. I had also blogged about Thai wines in this blog before, but that was ordered and consumed in Thailand.
Monsoon Valley is a brand of Siam Winery, who also made the other Thai wine that I blogged about. Unlike the other wine, this is not made from some alternative grape but the well known international varietal Shiraz. They also had a western date label, rather than the Thai Buddhist calender, which would make the vintage 2557!
