Getting in late on this, but back around 1970 I moved to Adelaide SA until around 1980 (long story) very close to the famed Barossa Valley and the Grange Hermitage (never had any - pricey). Some new friends introduced me to wine and I developed a taste for it. The industry was was starting to take off largely due to the efforts of Wolf Blass bringing in some sophistication.
