If you have a chance to visit Australia, look for vines listed below. Below are ten of the best value wines under $10 which James Halliday has selected ten of the best value wines in James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion (2004). James Halliday is Australia‘s most respected wine guru. He spends his time traveling, researching and tasting wine in all major wine producing countries. You can find them in wine cellars across Australia or leading supermarkets like Coles or Woolwoth (Safeway in Victoria).

Zilzie Buloke Reserve Sangiovese
Zilzie Buloke Reserve Petit Verdot
Yalumbea Y Series Merlot
Penfold Rawson;s Retreat Cabarnet Shiraz

My brother brought me Lindermans Bin 40 Merlot and Yalumbea Y Series Merlot
which he got them from Coles in the city of Melbourne. What James Halliday suggested in his book was right. The taste of Lindermans Bin 40 Merlot was not bad comparing with its price. Unfortunately, I have not tried Yalumbea Y Series Merlot.

If you are looking for affordable hotels in the heart of Melbourne,
The City Square Motel is highly recommended

Located at 67 Swanston Street Melbourne, directly opposite the City Square
- just in the center of Melbourne CBD – the hotel offers you clean and comfortable accommodation.
What I really like this hotel is that it‘s closed to all major attractions.
You spend only few minutes to travel to Queen Visctoria Market, Crown Casino,
Captain Cook's Cottage, David Jones, Myer- you name it.

The room is a bit too small for a four member family like mine but, hey!,
at the cost of $125.00 per night with light breakfast, it is worth to stay.
