Default Australian winery recommendations

In article , Wineocerous says...
I work in the US wine industry and am planning a trip to Australia,
with emphasis on the following wine areas: Hunter Valley, Yarra
Valley, Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, and McLaren Vale. What wineries
would you recommend as 'must-visit'?


I can tell you which would not be a must visit in my opinion - the
Ferguson winery in the Yarra valley (it's the one to which they bring
you if you book a day tour from Melbourne). I tasted a few wines there
and while they were not bad, they were not that impressive either


Mino quibble, it is where they took you. I was taken to several including
Domaine Chandon all of which were excellent wineries. Most of the tour
operators will make adjustments for the client, if they don't find another.
