Are you going crazy waiting for the Mollydookers to arrive? 

Here are two Australian beauties to tide you over… 

Small Gully 2006 Mr. Black’s Concoction Shiraz-Viognier has a lovely aromatic lift from the Viognier component. Asian spices, game, incense, and blueberry aromas are followed by a medium- to full-bodied wine with layers of ripe fruit, excellent balance, and a pure, fruity finish. Wine Advocate- 91 points. $19.99 

Misfits Wine Company 2008 Cycle Buff Beauties is composed of 80% Clare Valley Malbec and 20% Barossa Valley Shiraz. It presents a nose of pepper, violets, black cherry, and plum leading to a supple, elegant wine with ripe, savory flavors,  and good balance.  Wine Advocate- 89 points. $17.99
